First off, if anyone would like to implement this feature, I would definitely appreciate it. I don't have a great solution, but there are two workarounds I've used for this: 1. I used to use a terminal that automatically made links clickable (with a modifier key). This worked well until I got tired of other bugs in that terminal. (Note that this only applies if, like me, you run emacs -nw). 2. These days I add a key to the notmuch-show keymap mapped to browse-url-at-point, with the following: (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map "U" 'browse-url-at-point) So when there's a URL I want to see, I go to it and hit U. It's not as convenient/obvious as enter, but it works well enough. I assume this works in non-terminal emacs as well. -- Adam
