No, i actually like to see the URL/title, but what i'm seeing is (only
for the first link) something that doesn't look like a URL at all, but a
debug trace... since it contains bytecode, maybe gnus filtered it out,
here it is again:

   #[771 <byte-code-removed> [w3m-track-mouse deactivate-mark nil message w3m-url-readable-string get-text-property w3m-balloon-help window-buffer] 9
    (fn WINDOW OBJECT POS)]


something like the above is what is shown in the echo area when i first
press TAB in a message, instead of the normal URL. it's as if `message'
where being passed a format with %S instead of %s, but i haven't had
the time to look at your changes to tell for sure...

Independently of the glitch above, that's a very good addition, thanks.
