From alpine-info at u.washington.edu Wed Dec 4 14:33:31 2024 From: alpine-info at u.washington.edu (Thomas Gramstad via Alpine-info) Date: Wed Dec 4 14:33:53 2024 Subject: [Alpine-info] How to open links without being questioned Message-ID: <2b1ee554-a68f-a271-cfcb-9e4ec489d59@ifi.uio.no> I used to be able to open links in Alpine e-mail messages by just clicking the link, and it would open in a separate web browser window. I have lost that, perhaps because of MS Exchange, or (hopefully) by activating something undesirable in the Alpine config, something that can be deactivated again. What happens now is that I am subjected to an endless series of questions when I try to open a link. Questions like this: play.google.com cookie: =519=BRh57qBWIOBfFb_e-uyXHDjfWtf9RCToqqRi Allow? (Y/N/Always/neVer) I've tried to reply Yes and Always to such questions, and then I get the next question, repeat the answer, and a few questions later the circle seems to restart from the beginning again. How can I prevent this from happening, and get back to the situation where links just open? I've tried to look at config settings about "links", "URL" and the like without finding anything.

I will point out though that speaking personally? The questions fix what was another problem for me. Lynx has a redirect limit window, at least the build on shellworld does. I would sometimes not reach a site because there were so many cookies it counted as redirects. So, at least for the gmail config of alpine I am using on another mail server, I keep those questions. But, that is me. I do not feel this is an alpine thing, but a browser one. Does that make sense?
