I've poked around inside the "browse-url" group (it's been a long time since I've seen "mosaic" and "netscape" listed as options), but I cannot find "mail-user-agent." So -- and remembering that, like an increasing number of org users, I am not a programmer -- is this a variable that I could specify in .emacs, for example? I do know how to modify that file and already have various "setq..." type of entries. But, just to prove that I am not a programmer, here's what I would try: (setq 'mail-user-agent' 'gnus-user-agent') Which, of course, causes emacs to choke (or, at least to grumble.) Ross -- Ross A.
