Don't know anything about mutt, but if you can arrange to call this
script with the URL, it'll load up the URL in a new tab in firefox. Or,
if there's an error (which would indicate that firefox isn't running
which would indicate that I'm not online.) queue the URL up in
~/data/tolookup.txt so I don't forget to look at it next time I'm
online.
