Is there some automatic script that changes text with http:// links to references for mutt or a vim plugin ? Say I have 

Text text, hey there goes a http://example.com link, 
hey the second one http://example2.com/. Btw have 
you seen the http://example.com ?

I want to automatically change it to:

Text text, hey there goes a [1] link, 
hey the second one [2]. Btw have 
you seen the [1] ? 

References

[1] http://example.com
[2] http://example2.com

    Did you search the script section of vim.org? Did you try something?

that's an interesting use case! As I already provide a set of general pattern extraction commands in my ExtractMatches plugin, as well as extended substitution commands in the PatternsOnText plugin, I was able to leverage and combine the functionality of both.

My new ExtractLinks plugin aims to provide just what you're asking for (and customizations for Markdown and HTML), in the hope that you (and others) find this useful.

This text references http://www.vim.org/ and http://w3.org/.
:ExtractLinks
This text references [1] and [2].

[1] http://www.vim.org/
[2] http://w3.org/
