I suppose it would depend on how the link is conveyed from the email to the bookmark back-end. That depends mainly on the email program you're using, which (based on a peek at your email headers) appears to be Pine, or possibly Alpine. You might be able to configure Pine/Alpine to open URLs with links-the-chain or links2-the-chain rather than lynx-the-cat. If that doesn't work but you have access to copy/paste between your mail program and your browser, that might be fastest/easiest. If you can run GNU screen or "tmux" on your remote shell, it will give you access to the internal copy/paste functionality. If you're running it locally in a multi-tasking OS that gives you access to two concurrent terminals (either an accessible telnet/SSH program on Win32, or within X terminals on Linux), you can use the system copy/paste functionalities to transfer the URL from your mail to the browser of your choice. I seem to recall you connect via a DOS machine that doesn't multi-task, so I'd investigate using tmux (or GNU screen) which I mentioned in an earlier post [1]. They're so powerful that it's hard for me to imagine going back to using a telnet/SSH connection without them. As a last-ditch effort, if you have direct access to your mailbox files on the shellworld server, it wouldn't be all that hard to throw together a little Python/perl script you could execute that would take a given mbox or maildir message, scrape out all the URLs inside and manually mung them into the ~/.links2/bookmarks.html file since it's only HTML. -tim [1] http://www.redhat.com/archives/blinux-list/2013-March/msg00076.html _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
