I am new to the world of gnus (about 1.5 weeks) and I am having a bit of
a problem getting gnus and firefox to work well together. I found code
on the emacs wiki to open an url in a new tab, but it opens in a new
window instead. Here is the pertinent info:
Debian sid
Emacs 21.3
Firefox 0.9.1
The function code looks like this on the site:
;; I have added line numbers for reference in this post only
;; I also changed formatting to keep the lines under
;; 72 characters
1. (defun browse-url-firefox-new-tab (url &optional new-window)
2. "Open URL in a new tab in Firefox."
3. (interactive (browse-url-interactive-arg "URL: "))
4. (let ((cmd (shell-command-to-string
5. (concat "~/src/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client -a any 'openURL("
6. url ",new-tab)'"))))
7. (unless (string= "" cmd)
8. (message "Starting Firefox...")
9. (start-process (concat "firefox " url)
nil "~/src/firefox/firefox" url)
10. (message "Starting Firefox...done"))))
I changed line 5 to read:
5. (concat "/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-xremote-client -a
any 'openURL("
and
5. (concat "/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox-xremote-client
-a any 'openURL("
and
5. (concat "/usr/bin/firefox -a firefox -remote
'openURL("
but none of them seem to work. I also changed line 9 to reflect the
local path to firefox. The line in my .emacs that pertains to this
reads:
'(browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-firefox-new-tab))
I have tried google, but I can't seem to find anything. What am I
missing here?
Thanks,
rdc

No problems here with Gnus v5.10.6 on Emacs 21.3.1 on debian-amd64.

I had the variable set:
(setq gnus-treat-fill-article t)
which was causing the problem. Also on this topic, I had tried:
(setq gnus-treat-fill-long-lines t)
and it screws stuff up too. I hate having messages span across the
whole screen.
