Ah, I didn't explain the procedure fully, sorry.

You should press <Tab> *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 <Tab> 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.

It will if you press <Tab> *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 :-)))
