You can make URLs in the current buffer active with M-x goto-address. This finds all the URLs in the buffer, and establishes bindings for Mouse-2 and C-c <RET> on them. After activation, if you click on a URL with Mouse-2, or move to a URL and type C-c <RET>, that will display the web page that the URL specifies. For a `mailto' URL, it sends mail instead, using your selected mail-composition method (see Mail Methods).
It can be useful to add goto-address
to mode hooks and the
hooks used to display an incoming message.
rmail-show-message-hook
is the appropriate hook for Rmail, and
mh-show-mode-hook
for MH-E. This is not needed for Gnus,
which has a similar feature of its own.
