Not exactly. I can open the article in an external viewer, but it is
always the external viewer as defined in emacs. I use

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic
browse-url-generic-program "x-www-browser")

to define my external browser and I only would like to be able to open
html mails in a different browser (conqueror or dillo) as this will be
uch faster them chromium which is my normal x-www-browser (and I want to
keep chromium for normal browsing).

Thanks,

Rainer
