Yes, I'm aware of that.  The point is: I need something to display my
HTML only emails in Gnus.  I found that w3m is the best compromise for
this, because it's faster than links or lynx, and (a lot) more reliable
than w3.

However, I *don't* want to use it as a web browser, so I would like it
to forward all the links found in the HTML formatted e-mail message to
an external browser.  My browse-url-browser-function variable is set up
correctly, and it works *unless* the message buffer is rendered using
w3m.

Does that make sense?
