If you have to keep viewing RFC’s and you miss index and links in RFC while viewing rfc, then you should check-out rfc2html. It is scrtip that takes plain text rfc and converts it to html.

You can get the original code from sourceforge.

However, I found some small issues with the script and have sent a mail to the authour about the same. In the meantime, you can use the diff below to fix the issue’s or download this diff file rfc2html.diff and apply the diff:
