NAME

       urlscan - browse the URLs in an email message from a terminal

SYNOPSIS

       urlscan [options] < message

       urlscan [options] message

DESCRIPTION

       urlscan accepts a single email message on standard input, then displays a terminal-based list of the URLs
       in  the  given  message.  Selecting a URL uses the Python webbrowser module to determine which browser to
       open. The BROWSER environment variable will be used if it is set.

       urlscan is primarily intended to be used with the mutt (1) mailreader, but it should work well  with  any
       terminal-based mail program.

       urlscan is similar to urlview(1), but has the following additional features:

       1. Support for more message encodings, such as quoted-printable and base64.

       2. Extraction and display of the context surrounding each URL.

OPTIONS

       -c, --compact
              Display a simple list of the extracted URLs, instead of showing the context of each URL.

       -n, --no-browser
              Disables  the  selection  interface  and print the links to standard output.  Useful for scripting
              (implies --compact).

MUTT INTEGRATION

       To integrate urlscan with mutt, include the following two commands in ~/.muttrc:

       macro index,pager \cb "<pipe-message> urlscan<Enter>" "call urlscan to extract URLs out of a message"

       macro attach,compose \cb "<pipe-entry> urlscan<Enter>" "call urlscan to extract URLs out of a message"

       Once these lines are in your mutt configuration file, pressing Control-b will allow  you  to  browse  and
       open the URLs in the currently selected message.
