Yes, really nice. :-) Could we have an option to allow to specify the function to use? I'd prefer `woman' (Emacs 21) instead of `man'. Or should I really use "(fset 'man 'woman)"? And, what about your idea [1] to make customize-links buttonized? - M-x customize-variable RET gnus-list-identifiers RET - M-x customize-group RET gnus-article-treat RET I'd also like the following to be buttonized: - C-h v gnus-version RET - C-h f gnus RET - f gnus RET - M-x apropos foo RET - M-x apropos-variable foo RET - M-x apropos-command foo RET - ... At least the commands related to help or custom would be useful. And I don't think that they are more dangerous than links as . Sure, to buttonize all `M-x foo RET'-expressions would be too dangerous. Another feature request: Gnus shows news: as links. But many people put MIDs in the text without "news:" () or even without "<" and ">" (mid@fqdn). WIBNI Gnus would buttonize those too? I know, that it's not really possible to distinguish MID's and mail addresses (without "mailto:") in this case. But couldn't we have a variable to allow: (a) always treat as MID (b) always treat as mail address (c) ask user (d) don't buttonize at all Bye, Reiner.
