Well, that didn't say what I wanted it to say.  It seems that the
mailing list software changed my Sender field (should have guessed it
would), so let me amend the above to "see From field".  


Back to the original issue: Refreshing a browser window from within
emacs.  

When I run "M-x browse-url-of-file" I get an error message in the
minibuffer saying "Searching for program: no such file or directory,
netscape".  This is logical because I'm using Firefox and not
netscape. So the obvious next step is to alter how browse-url-of-file
works.  So I figured out that this command from the CLI works:

mozilla -a firefox -remote 'openURL(http://www.domain.tld/file.html)'

The problem comes when I use Customize in emacs to put in this command.
Trying to do so, Customize gives me the error "Invalid function:
mozilla".  It seems it's looking for an elisp expression, something I
have no clue as to how to compose.

Anyone know what that might be?
