I have a DWIM function to do that. If point is
at a link, it gets (kills) the link's
destination (the URL). If there is a literal
URL at point, it gets that. If nothing, it gets
the URL of the current w3m buffer.

For Gnus - perhaps it works there as well! (the
literal stuff) - otherwise it is a good idea to
have...

    (defun w3m-kill-url-dwim ()
      (interactive)
      (let ((anchor-url (w3m-anchor)))
        (if anchor-url (kill-new anchor-url)
          (let ((literal-url (thing-at-point 'url)))
            (if literal-url (kill-new literal-url)
              (kill-new w3m-current-url) ))))
      (message "killed: %s" (current-kill 0)) )

Code in context:

Bind it to "s" and "u":

Don't thank me - I'll send an invoice :)
