    Tools for reading Dr Dobb's Python-URL

    What is _the_ tool for reading Dr. Dobb's Python-URL,
    I mean not only seeing the url's, but opening them as well ?

    I have made a python-script which handles it reasonably well,
    but someone must have invented a better wheel before me.

      My mail reader is the text-based Mutt, which:
      - doesn't react to mouse clicks
      - does show url's in a different color
      - seems not to do anything useful with them

      The Mutt-documentation says that in order to read the document
      an url refers to, you have to pipe the e-mail into another program,
      eg. urlview.
      But that program only shows a list of all the url's in the
      e-mail-message, without context, and that is not very illuminating,
      especially not if many of them refer to googled [mailman] groups.

      So I am am looking for something better.

          I see. Would the DrDobbs web page I pointed at
          (http://www.ddj.com/topics/pythonurl/)
          not be a good alternative for you?
          If you accept a slight delay until the latest
          Python-URL is posted on that web site, you can
          read it and click all links by using any web browser...

          I cannot help you with a better alternative
          to mutt if you want to use a text-based mail reader,
          sorry.
