I am having trouble activating links in emails. I guess what I intuitively expect to happen is that if i hit enter on a link that it opens up using browse-url-at-point or similar. All that appears to happen is that the message I'm viewing collapses. I would also if possible like urls to be active in text messages as well. Is there an easy solution to this that I'm missing?

Clicking on them? Or do you try to open them using your mind? Usually for text MTAs (such as mutt or afew), this is not their role to handle url, but the graphical terminal emulator to handle that. If you use gnome-terminal, for example, it has a configuration to help one detect URLs in its buffer. Cheers, -- Guyzmo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I thought the OP's question was pretty clearly referring to the notmuch-emacs interface (i don't know of any other context in which "browse-url-at-point" has meaning). if you try interpreting it in the context of notmuch-emacs does that make more sense? --dkg [-- Attachment #2: OpenPGP digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 1027 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Well not much... I'm a notmuch+mutt-kz+vim user, not a notmuch+emacs user, and I try to read the mailing list as much as I can, though I regularly skip emacs related posts, as I'm not interesed... Sometimes there are some that I don't get as being emacs related! My apologies for the misunderstanding, -- Guyzmo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

First off, if anyone would like to implement this feature, I would definitely appreciate it. I don't have a great solution, but there are two workarounds I've used for this: 1. I used to use a terminal that automatically made links clickable (with a modifier key). This worked well until I got tired of other bugs in that terminal. (Note that this only applies if, like me, you run emacs -nw). 2. These days I add a key to the notmuch-show keymap mapped to browse-url-at-point, with the following: (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map "U" 'browse-url-at-point) So when there's a URL I want to see, I go to it and hit U. It's not as convenient/obvious as enter, but it works well enough. I assume this works in non-terminal emacs as well. -- Adam ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

That is obvious now you point it out. I too would welcome an implementation that allowed hitting enter to follow a link. Hitting another key though is not too arduous. Guyzmo, no problems regarding your interpretation of my question. I should have been more specific with regards to emacs.

At least that seems to do the same as clicking it. I agree that just RET would be nice, but also would like the links to be treated as buttons so next-button (ie TAB) would stop at them.
