here's the plumbing rule:

# cheap html to text renderer
type is text
data matches '(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 wurl2txt $0

here's wurl2txt:

#!/bin/rc

switch($#*){
case 0
	exit
case 1
	name = /`{echo $1 | sed 's;.*//;;
		s;/.*;;'}^/webpage
	# send hget errors to 2 so they appear in window
	hget $1 >[2=1]| {echo $1; echo; htmlfmt} >[2=1] | plumb -i -d edit -a 'action=showdata filename='$name
	exit
case *
	for(i in *)
		wurl2txt $i
}
