Browsing URLs from Gnus Summary buffer

I’ve been reading RSS and Atom feeds in Gnus for a few weeks, having moved over from elfeed. IIRC in elfeed it was pretty easy to visit the URL that an entry summarized. I’ve been searching for a while to do the same in Gnus, without much luck.

@davemq Very nice blogpost. Curious to hear why you switched over from elfeed. :)

@paniash

IIRC @publicvoit published something about following feeds using Gnus. I used to do that. The sticking point is that Emacs will hang while Gnus waits for a feed that may or may not connect or provide its data. elfeed was better about that, but I missed Gnus' adaptive scoring. I'd written an elfeed adaptive scoring package, but was never thrilled about using a separate package for feeds. So I'm giving Gnus and nnrss and nnatom another try.

@davemq @paniash It wasn't me, I guess.

I've never used any Emacs-based email or NNTP solution myself. Still using mutt, slrn and GNOME Evolution: https://karl-voit.at/apps-I-am-using/

For Atom/RSS, I'm using #newsblur.

@publicvoit @paniash oops, I should have done my research!
