It just needs to be passed a URL as an argument. I'd like to get GNUS to use that on URLs, and not Firefox. However, fooling with the various browse-url* variables hasn't gotten me anything that works - usually nothing happens, with no error messages. Anyone got a description of how to set such a thing up? Or hints on debugging the browse-url-* functions so I can get this working on my own?
