[PATCH v1 1/1] emacs: Easy access to URLs mentioned in the current message

David Edmondson dme at dme.org

Add a new binding when looking at messages, B, that prompts with a
list of URLs found in the current message, if any. Open the one that
is selected in a browser.

Based on ideas from `rcirc-browse-url'.
