Thank you for the compliments on Vespucci! A lot of work was done by 
Nikolaus in his SWK, so thank him too.

TO be honest, I did not try GNUMail since some time. I do not know if it 
supports proper opening of URLs in GNUstep or if it uses some trick.
I hope you installed Vespucci from CVS-head of GAP. If you did so, run 
"make_services". To test if everything is configured properly just try 
to "gopen" the url.

for example:

gopen http://www.bing.com

if Vespucci open with Bing, everything is fine and it is probably a 
GNUMail fault.

You could also install Grr from CVS-head of GAP and try to open the 
article in the browser, that should work too.

Never be afraid to ask. You might be hitting a bug or problem developers 
oversaw or do not have on their computers. Or maybe you just show that 
there is interest and encourage developers to do their work.
If you did search on the mailing list archives and on the wiki or 
webpages and don't find it, then perhaps it is not clear.
