That was the problem.  On my office linux box, where 'G w' didn't
work, mm-url-use-external's value is t, so `mm-url-program' will be
used to grab urls.  Here at work, `mm-url-program' is wget.

It seems that google doesn't allow wget connections, so I've told it
to advertise itself as Mozilla:

(setq mm-url-predefined-programs
      '((wget "wget" "-U" "Mozilla" "-q" "-O" "-")
	(w3m  "w3m" "-dump_source")
	(lynx "lynx" "-source")
	(curl "curl")))

and all is well.

Cheers -

bw
