If you use htmlfmt -u $1 in wurl2txt, you get links that you
can right click on in acme.  Also, images are placed in the
output as [image <url>].  Then a slight modification of
rob's plumbing rule can be used to view images in a separate
window:

type is text
data matches 'image (https?|ftp|file|gopher|mailto|news|nntp|telnet|wais|prospero)://[a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+([.:][a-zA-Z0-9_@\-]+)*/?[a-zA-Z0-9_?,%#~&/\-+=]+([:.][a-zA-Z0-9_?,%#~&/\-+=]+)*'
plumb start wurl2img $0

and here's wurl2img:

#!/bin/rc

switch($#*){
case 0
	exit
case 1
	# send hget errors to 2 so they appear in window
	hget $1 >[2=1]| plumb -i -d image
	exit
case *
	for(i in *)
		wurl2img $i
}

Granted, htmlfmt -u is not as pretty as just htmlfmt, but the
fact that acme gives you almost-hypertext at no extra cost
is really cool nonetheless.
