Note the replacement of the `,'s with `2c's, rather than `%2c's.

Pgnus 0.73, emacs 20.3 (via rh-5.2 rpm).

P.S.  What does one need to do to make C-x5m open a new frame?
      It has never worked for me in emacs 20....

Hmm...  It doesn't work because `message-mail' doesn't pay any
attention to the `switch-function' argument.

As a temp fix, you can rebind `C-x 5 m' to `message-mail-other-frame'.

It is a bug in browse-url.el not gnus.

That fixes it.

Seems like it used to work for me though.  Guess I must have patched
it in 20.2 and then promptly forgotten about it....

Yes, fixed shortly after 20.3 IIRC; it should escape soon.  Thanks
anyhow.

Yes.  :-(

When I reported this as a bug in "message", Lars said he would
implement this when he gets around to it.  I tried it myself, but
found the code in `message.el' too complex to muck around with until I 
studied it in depth.
