Huh. Well, I guess I've never thought to try, given that URLs aren't highlighted or underlined in my rednition of Gnus (5.9, I think- whatever came with the Carbonized version of Emacs). And of course there have been no URLs given in any of theposts I've read this session. But I'll give it a try when the opportunity arises. > > and to pass the URL to my browser?

Meaning which browser, or what syntax to use ot send the URL to the browser? Thanks!! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Yes, it 5.9 as your "User-Agent" header shows: "User-Agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.1.30". I checked with Gnus 5.9, it should work there, too. > And of course there have been no URLs given in any of theposts I've > read this session. But I'll give it a try when the opportunity > arises. See my signature (or here: <URL:http://www.gnus.org>). Using the default settings, it should appear in bold face. When you put the cursor on it, it will turn into light-green and a tool-tip "Follow the link" pops up. Follow the link with mouse-2 (i.e. middle mouse usually) or by putting the cursor on the link and hit RET.

My .emacs is probably still pretty minimalist compared to more experienced users, I suspect. Thanks again! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

The easiest should be to use the Mac OS X "open" command here, which will transfer to your favorite browser automatically. Some people may view this as a security hole, because "open" will start *any* document reference, even execute programs. It should be as safe as your browser itself in this particular context, but who knows... benny ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
