I use Gnus on a virtual console under Linux. I have
(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m) in my .gnus file. The display of
HTML emails is fine. The problem I have is with links contained in
some emails.
I have a bash script which takes a URL as a parameter and displays the
relevant page in a new tab in Firefox. I want this to be used if I
decide to follow a link in an email.
I have looked at various sections of the Gnus Manual, but can't seem
to find how to do this, although I'm sure it is probably a simple
addition to the .gnus file.
I'd be grateful if someone can tell me how to do this, or how to find
out.

However, if you _really_ want to send me an e-mail,
replace "nospam" in my address with "aeolia".

(setq browse-url-generic-program "xsel.sh" ;; replace with your script
browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic)
(defun rs-w3m-view-this-url ()
"View the URL of the link under point.
Use `browse-url' when in a Gnus article buffer, else use
`w3m-safe-view-this-url'."
(interactive)
(if (string-equal gnus-article-buffer (buffer-name))
(let ((url (w3m-url-valid (w3m-anchor))))
(if url
(browse-url url)
(w3m-message "No URL at point")))
(w3m-safe-view-this-url)))
;; Map it to RET and/or <right>:
(define-key w3m-minor-mode-map (kbd "RET") 'rs-w3m-view-this-url)
(define-key w3m-minor-mode-map (kbd "<right>") 'rs-w3m-view-this-url)
Bye, Reiner.

Thanks - seems to work like a dream!

On a second thought, the following seems to be more simple and cleaner
(you need to remove the previous code):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq browse-url-generic-program "xsel.sh" ;; replace with your script
browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic)
(add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(set (make-local-variable 'w3m-goto-article-function)
'browse-url)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Bye, Reiner.
