Raymond Zeitler started a thread that yeilded my preferred answer,
from Richard M. Heier.
As for the first 2, I found an answer. It works for mail, but not for
news. Check out the "Associating..." link, and page down a bit to the
solution I used for Internet Explorer.
Here's a new snippet I've got in my .emacs file. The links mention how
to (manually) install gnuclient, gnuclientw, gnudoit, and gnuserv.
It's a bit messier than I expected, but it gave me no problems.
