You can make URLs in the current buffer active with @kbd{M-x
-goto-address}. This finds all the URLs in the buffer, and establishes
-bindings for @kbd{Mouse-2} and @kbd{C-c @key{RET}} on them. After
-activation, if you click on a URL with @kbd{Mouse-2}, or move to a URL
-and type @kbd{C-c @key{RET}}, that will display the web page that the URL
-specifies. For a @samp{mailto} URL, it sends mail instead, using your
-selected mail-composition method (@pxref{Mail Methods}).

- It can be useful to add @code{goto-address} to mode hooks and the
-hooks used to display an incoming message.
-@code{rmail-show-message-hook} is the appropriate hook for Rmail, and
-@code{mh-show-mode-hook} for MH-E. This is not needed for Gnus,
-which has a similar feature of its own.
