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.
