saving a link in gnus

saving a link in gnus

[cmc3list-goat]

I sometimes use Gnus in a remote session (Cygwin on Windows 
from my FreeBSD box) and I'd like to be able to click on a 
link and save it, then paste the link in the browser on my 
Windows machine. 

Right now I can drag my mouse across the link and then paste 
it into the location bar but it would be nice to do this with 
a few clicks. Is there a way? (I am not a lisp programmer, BTW)

This is what I currently have in my .gnus file:

(setq browse-url-netscape-program "firefox")

Thanks for any advice,

You could bind something like this to a key sequence (or maybe a mouse
event):

 (defun save-url ()
   "Copy URL at point."
   (interactive)
   (kill-new (thing-at-point 'url)))
