The primary problems of making a handling function are threefold: 1) Must start up (enough of) gnus if gnus isn't already started. Preferably it should start it up without opening any servers. 2) Must be able to do the equivilant of a `gnus-summary-refer-article', even if a summary buffer is not existant. Should perhaps make its own summary buffer. 3) Should either use the newserver in the url, or use a default newserver specified in some (unspecified) variable. I'm willing to code this myself, if someone more knowledgable (or with more time) will point me in the right direction. -- Michael Duggan (md5i@cs.cmu.edu) .
