How To Select Which Browser Is Used for Links?

[Randy Yates]

Hi Folks,

I'm using gnus 5.10.7 with xemacs 21.4.19. How do you specify which
browser is used (e.g., Firefox or Netscape or etc.) when there is a 
url in an email or news article (e.g., http://www.aes.org)?

This is addressed in the gnus FAQ

  http://www.faqs.org/faqs/gnus-faq/

in question 2.6. I actually have 

  (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-mozilla
        browse-url-mozilla-program "firefox"
        browse-url-new-window-flag t)

in my .gnus file, so that I get a new firefox window when I follow a
link from gnus.

I hope this helps,

Tim
