The pithy ruminations from Kevin Cosgrove on 
<exmh with mozilla-firefox> were:
=> 
=> When I have firefox already running, then executing
=> 

	[SNIP!]

=> 
=> Does anyone know how to get firefox to respond correctly to clicking 
=> on a URL in exmh?

Yes, sort of.

Given the differences between browsers, and the fact that the syntax for opening
a new window or tab has changed over time, and the fact that I don't like to
change my ~/.exmh/exmh-defaults, I've gone to a slightly different solution...
My exmh-defaults contains:


	*uriNetscapeCmd:	browser-remote $xuri

Where "browser-remote" is a perl script that handles the correct options 
per-browser. The script could be oh-so-much smarter, including detecting which 
type of browser is running, etc. but it works for me as it is.

This also means that I can use the "browser-remote" command in apps that aren't 
as extensible or customizable as exmh.
