tinyurl and Mozilla

tinyurl and Mozilla

[kgold]

I've been using tinyurl with emacs 20.7 to be able to click on a link
in a mail buffer and open the link in Netscape.

Now we've switched to Mozilla, which is not one of the choices.  Does
anyone have a modified tinyurl.el, or an alternative solution.

I'm sure I solved this in <url: http://emacro.sf.net/ >
As I recall, you should set:

       (defconst browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-netscape)
       (defconst browse-url-netscape-program "mozilla")))

I still get the *Messages*

	TinyUrl: Accessing http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~keithv/
	Starting Netscape...

which fails because I no longer have Netscape.

As you suggested, I now have in .emacs.

	(defconst browse-url-netscape-program "mozilla")

C-h v shows:

	browse-url-netscape-program's value is 
	"mozilla"

	browse-url-browser-function's value is 
	browse-url-netscape

C-h k on a URL shows

S-down-mouse-2 at that spot runs the command tinyurl-mouse-binding-down
   which is an interactive Lisp function in `tinyurl'.
