I'm having trouble handling emails containing links to web pages and
emails that contain HTML MIME attachements. How does one set up gnus to
do the following:
1) If I click on a link, launch a browser to show me the page. I
configured browse-url to launch firefox. When I click on a link,
firefox is launched but it only shows me default homepage.
2) How do I render HTML included in an email. Gnus shows me a mime
button which, when clicked, opens to show me HTML. How do I get that
rendered?
TIA!
...Jake

How did you configure it? Did you set browse-url-browser-function to
browse-url-firefox? If yes, what does
(browse-url-firefox "http://www.gnus.org") <-- Press C-x C-e here!
do? (If it doesn't open firefox at gnus.org, then that's your problem.
Beside not being gnus-related I wouldn't know what's the solution.)

I use emacs-w3m [1] to render html email:
(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)
(setq mm-inline-text-html-with-images t)
(setq mm-inline-large-images t)
Of course, if you click a link in a article buffer rendered by w3m it
will be opened with w3m. But you can fire up your firefox with
browse-url-at-point and friends.
Bye,

Very odd. I can get firefox to launch but it won't honor the URL. But
if I do the same thing from the Unix command-line it works fine.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

This worked for me. Although I used 'w3 instead of 'w3m. Thanks.

`browse-url-firefox' doesn't just issue "firefox URL", but it assembles
some other options to the command (openURL, new-tab, new-window). Have
a look at the definition of the command. I suspect you use a version of
firefox that doesn't understand one of those.
Bye,
Tassilo

The problem is that browse-url is using a syntax that is no longer valid
for firefox 2.0. I edited browse-url to not use the '-remote' syntax
and now it all works fine.
So who maintains browse-url?
