gnus and nnrss html

[Richard G Riley]

I have the following in my .gnus.el

,----
| ;; Set the default value of `mm-discouraged-alternatives'.
| (add-to-list
|     'gnus-newsgroup-variables
|     '(mm-discouraged-alternatives
|       . '("text/html" "image/.*")))
| 
| ;;Display `text/html' parts in `nnrss' groups.
| (add-to-list
|  'gnus-parameters
|  '("\\`nnrss:" (mm-discouraged-alternatives nil)))
`----

The problem I have is that any links in the html are displayed as
"linkname" with the url hidden. I usually have a key bound to
(browse-url-firefox url &optional new-window) but this only works on
"visible" urls. How can I extract the underlying url in articles on nrss
folders which are being displayed as rendered html?

The following code did what I wanted without upsetting the default
"return" which uses w3m for me.

(global-set-key (quote [f4]) (lambda() (interactive)(browse-url-firefox (w3m-url-valid (w3m-anchor)))))

And a slightly more robust one which prompts for a URL if there are w3m
ones under the cursor:

,----
| (global-set-key
|  (quote [f4])
|  (lambda()
|    (interactive)
|    (cond 
|     ((setq url (w3m-url-valid (w3m-anchor)))
|      (browse-url-firefox url)) 
|     (t (command-execute 'browse-url-firefox)))))
