I just realized one thing while browsing a foreign group.
I'd like gnus-button-url to do different things dependent on what type
of information it is. For instance if it is
http://www.xemacs.org I want it to start netscape
news://dev4.byte.com/chipcon I want it to goto the foreign server
using gnus of course.
etc..
thanxs a lot
arne
PS. Another question. How do I automatically change the post method
when I read a foreign group. (At the moment I have to type
C-u 0 C-c C-c whiich is a pain in the neck)

Uhm, doesn't it? Gnus has used Mozilla for mailto: and news: a
couple of times in its history, but I have reported these as bugs, and
they have been fixed. If I click on your dev4 above, I get
Couldn't fetch article <//dev4.byte.com/chipcon>
which I don't know what I should think about, but it certainly didn't
start Mozilla.

Sounds like GNUS isn't being very smart about parsing the news URL.
It can now officially have the hostname, port #, etc, just like any
other URL. There is parsing code in url-parse.el for this in the
Emacs-W3 distribution (which BTW handles this just fine through
gnus-button-url :)
