I occasionally get email messages that include a selectable link to a website. How can I configure pine to open these in my favorite browser?
To do the pine configuration, go to (M)ain menu, (S)etup, (C)onfig, scroll down to Viewer Preferences and check enable-msg-view-urls (by scrolling there and hitting return). Type (E)xit, and agree to saving changes. This will only work for links that are embedded in the message with html. You should now be able to choose a link in your mail message and hit the enter key. Pine will prompt you to select a url-viewer if you have not already. If you plan to do this from a remote location, specify /usr/bin/lynx as your browser. It’s not pretty, but it’ll work over slow links. If your sure you’ll only be using this feature while sitting at the actual computer, you can specify netscape or mozilla as your browser. I haven’t been able to start Mozilla under my usual profile, what can I do? Start the web browser with the option for managing profiles. ./firefox -profilemanager See Mozilla’s profile support page for more details. You might want to remove stale lock files from old firefox runs that
