   Ah, I didn't explain the procedure fully, sorry.   
      
   You should press  *first* which will "select" the first URL in     
   the message. Then press "C" and you should see a message pop up     
   something to the effect that the URL has been copied to the clipboard.     
   If there's more than one URL in the message, pressing  again will     
   "select" the next URL and so on and so forth. You may need to change     
   the colours of the "selection bar" to suit your taste and you do that     
   by going to "Config/Display/Colors/Reader/Selection bar" and finding a     
   colour combination that suits you. I have mine set to Dark Blue text     
   on a Grey background.

    AA> ..and doing the above does not launch anything.   
      
   It will if you press  *first* providing you have "Viewer for     
   URLs" set to "explorer" in Config/Options/Message Reader.

   Hang on, I'll hop on a plane to Canada :-)))
