All I can get to work is lynx right now. BTW, what I really use is mozilla. For that you would have to add it to the options in /etc/urlview/url_handler. Or just put mozilla in place of Netscape. But as I said, It doesn't work correctly. When I am in X with Netscape open and use the urlview in Mutt or Slrn, I get the darn xterm with lynx in it.

urlview always uses Lynx
Hello, This problem occurs when, while reading mail with mutt, I use Ctrl-b to browse the links in the message. urlview always opens an xterm running lynx, even when I have netscape running in X. Is this the correct behavior? Can I make it use netscape if I am in X and Lynx when I am not? -- Jim Foltz [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ACORN techie http://www.acorn.net AOL/IM Jim Foltz
