Deride Lynx all you want, it's still (by far) the fastest way to get information off the World Wide Web. The attached function may be used as follows: (setq gnus-browse-url 'gnus-lynx-start-url) (defun gnus-lynx-start-url (url) "Start the Lynx w3 browser on a URL." (start-process (concat "lynx" url) nil "xterm" "-e" "lynx" url)) -- steve@miranova.com baur
