[Alpine-info] Enabling email links in message body, Changing URL browser

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Hello Everyone,

I am working with Vinux Development which is a blind friendly Linux system
right now based on Ubuntu, but we also have Debian versions including a
command line interface version (CLI) based on Debian and also Debian Mint as
well as GNOME Desktop versions of Debian and Debian Mint.

I have two questions that I have not been able to figure out or find the
answers to:

1)      How can I enable email addresses in the text of the message so that
Alpine will open them up.  For example if I mention user at internet.org in the
text is there I way that I can configure Alpine to make that address active
so it become a link?

2)      I've tried to change the URL browser value to "links2 -g" but I
still open up links in links without graphics.  I've added a ~.bash_aliases
entry to change the command links2 to 'links2 -g' which works but alpine
continues to use links.

I checked .pinerc and there is an entry at the end:

url-viewers="links2 -g"

Is this correct?  I've tried removing the " marks but it still fails to
display graphics.  The command links2 -g works correctly on console for me.

Thanks for such a fabulous program.

Sincerely,
