Thanks. I'd found most of this, but...

I'd missed the %s.

It now "nearly" works.

    text/html; iexplore.exe %s

runs Internet Explorer on the filename supplied by Gnus, but that
filename is (from C-h l)

   Displaying iexplore.exe c\:\\WINNT\\TEMP\\emm.ErAVRG\\mm.ErAjwC...

Obvious problems: (1) all the backslashes are doubled, and the colon
is backslashed, and (2) the extension isn't .htm or .html, so Internet
Explorer doesn't do the right thing... Opera has the same problem.

Is it possible to control the format of the filename XEmacs uses in
place of the %s? If not, I guess I can write a wrapper script to
achieve the same effect.

Thanks for the specifics.
Paul.
