====== RSSOwl Patch - Internal Browser in News Area ======

<note classic>I only added this here for historical reasons, the described functionality is already included in newer RSSOwl versions.</note>

The following patch is a follow-up to Steven Grimm's posted [[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1013896&group_id=86683&atid=580504|here]]. I adjusted it to fit into the 0.9b sources and added the possibility to switch the new functionality on and off via the property-panel.

After applying the patch the behaviour of rssowl stays the same unless one checks "Use newsview as browser for empty news" in the browser property panel. Then the program behaves like the following:
  * For news with a description, nothing in its behaviour has changed.
  * News without descriptions are displayed in the internal newsarea
  * a click on an url in the displayed html page belonging to the description-less news opens up a new browser tab
