(I don't know if it's because of the missing 'http://', but the behavior looks buggy to me regardless.) As it stands, if I have Netscape (since browse-url-netscape-function is set to 'browse-url-netscape) running already, then clicking on this button takes me to http://www.nd.edu/~gmcninch If I don't have Netscape running, then clicking on the button starts Netscape, but tries to go to the URL file:/afs/nd.edu/user4/jpalmier/www.nd.edu/~gmcninch I understand that the URL may be malformed, but should there really be a difference in behavior depending on whether I have a web browser running or not? (I can't tell how much this depends on the web browser. With w3, i.e., with (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-w3) the button does the same thing--goes to http://...--whether w3 was "running already" or not. I don't feel like installing any Microsoft products today to test what happens there; and Mosaic goes to the correct URL if it is *not* running already, but goes to the wrong place--appends www.nd.edu/~gmcninch to the currently displayed URL--if it *is* running.) It certainly could be that gnus (and widget and whatever else) is doing as good a job as it can on a malformed URL, and then that different web browsers handle the results differently. But it could also be a bug. Which is it? -- John H.
