That is correct and the way slrn works. You set browser and/or 
guibrowser options in .slrnrc. With those set, SHIFT-G will troll an 
open message for web addresses, and you use up and down arrow to select 
the link you want from the generated list. Then it launches the browser 
you configured.

Getting the escaping, path, and syntax of the browser setting correct 
was a pain, but after that it worked great.

That said, I got tired of the inability to display most special 
characters correctly (slrn could only do as well the cmd.exe), and have 
switched to Thunderbird.
