Something like this:

  (setq browse-url-browser-function
    '(("CLHS" . w3m-browse-url)
      ("." . browse-url-netscape)))

This'll show CLHS pages inside of Emacs (through w3m) while other
links (e.g. the ones found by Gnus in c.l.l articles) will be sent to
Mozilla.

This works for me with w3m (which is different from w3) but should
work for any combination of browsers. See the info entry for
browse-url-browser-function for details.

Cheers,
Edi.
