I use this, but as I recall just hitting enter on it should bring it up in w3m (using the settings below) ,---- | (global-set-key (kbd "<f4>") 'rgr/browse-url) | | (defun rgr/browse (url) | "If prefix is specified use the system default browser else use the configured emacs one" | (if current-prefix-arg | (when url (browse-url-default-browser url)) | (if url (browse-url url) (call-interactively 'browse-url)) | )) | | (defun rgr/browse-url (&optional url) | "browse the url passed in" | (interactive) | (setq url (or url (w3m-url-valid (w3m-anchor)) (browse-url-url-at-point) (region-or-word-at-point))) | (setq url (read-string (format "Url \"%s\" :" url) url nil url)) | (rgr/browse url)) `---- Hitting enter brings it up in w3m for me, C-u f4 opens the system browser (firefox for me). C-h f on browse-url-default-browser will help. The function region-or-word-at-point is in the thinatpt+ library. I daresay there are simpler solutions but I like this since I generally open links in w3m inside emacs but occasionally need to launch a real browser from an encoded url. The code above works for a visible http link e.g "http://clickme"; and also a formatted one w3m that just shows "click me" but with an underlying link. > > 2.

These are my settings: (setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m mm-inline-text-html-with-images t mm-inline-large-images t mm-verify-option 'always mm-decrypt-option nil mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext") mm-automatic-display '("text/html") mm-attachment-override-types '("image/.*") mm-external-terminal-program (quote urxvt) gnus-ignored-mime-types '("text/x-vcard") w3m-key-binding 'info w3m-cookie-accept-bad-cookies (quote ask) w3m-use-cookies t w3m-safe-url-regexp nil mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp nil ) They might need pruning but I dont see any html codes. I am assuming w3m works on windows too.
