It is the line wrapping that mutt puts in.  If I copy/paste the link as
displayed by mutt into a file and then cat it, I see the same behavior I
see in mutt: incomplete link.  If I edit the file and join the 2 lines,
cat <filename> displays the one-line link and then selecting it works as
it should.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to prevent mutt from inserting
\n between long links, even after using

set nomarkers
set smart_wrap=no

which only get rid of the '+' at the befinning of the second line, but
the \n remains, as shown by od -c.  No combination of reflow_text,
reflow_wrap, smart_wrap alters the breaking up of long links, only
maximizing the konsole so that the whole link is on one line works.
Maybe I haven't found the magic combination of options to achieve this,
if it is at all possible.

It would be nice if mutt recognized URLs and didn't add the \n, but I
don't see any such option in man muttrc.

Thanks for replying.
