Follow RSS links.

Hi all!

I use gnus to read RSS feed from my favorite news sources. Most of
the time the articles are in fact resumes and contain a link to the
full story. To my dismay the actual links are not displayed in the
article buffers, instead I only see the text "link" and not the
URL. How do I get the URL?

You should get the links if you use a sensible HTML renderer like

(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)

Now that I've installed w3m everything works perfect. Not only does
w3m let me follow links, it also takes care of a problem with
international character that has troubled me for ages!

I am most grateful
