use konquer for html links in mail

use konquer for html links in mail

[Harry Putnam]

How can I manage to make konqueror the target when clicking URLS in
gnus mail?  I have this in .gnus currently but not sure it is all
necessary.   Or what to do to it to have konqueror.

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-mozilla-new-tab)
(defun browse-url-mozilla-new-tab (url &optional new-window)
  ;; new-window ignored
  "Open URL in a new tab in Firefox."
  (interactive (browse-url-interactive-arg "URL: "))
  (unless
      (string= ""
        (shell-command-to-string
  (concat "/usr/bin/firefox -remote 'openURL(" url ",new-tab)'")))
    (message "Starting /usr/bin/firefox...")
    (start-process (concat "/usr/bin/firefox " url) nil "/usr/bin/firefox" url)
    (message "Starting firefox...done")
    ))

I've found that simply setting

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-kde)

does what I want, starting a new konqueror if necessary and then
opening new tabs in that browser as I follow more links in gnus.
(Closing the article buffer will kill the browser instance if it's a
child of gnus, but this is what I want often enough that I haven't
looked into it further.)

Best regards,
Michael
