In gnus I am reading a pure text non-HTML mail, just like this one.
I move the mouse on top of a link just like
http://www.forumosa.com/taiwan/viewforum.php?f=12
A mouseover message appears saying "follow the link".
But there is no way, despite having three (3) mouse buttons, to do what
I want: follow link in an external browser.

The middle mouse key gives me an external browser window.
You can try to set these variables (like this):
(setq browse-url-generic-program (executable-find "google-chrome")
browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic)
Change "google-chrome" to your browser's bin file.
