0. Install xdg-open
1. Put cursor on inside the URL below.

    http://thread.gmane.org/47B4E3B2.3050402 <at> gmail.com

1. M-x browse-url-xdg-open or M-x browse-url or Left mouse click
   
   See firefox getting launched.

2. M-x eww-browse-with-external-browser

   See following backtrace.

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
      call-process("xdg-open" nil 0 nil nil)

      call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
      command-execute(execute-extended-command)

I have no fancy customization of browse-url-* options.  Just the
standard defaults on a debian.
