Interesting observation on my part in Thunderbird 52.2.1:

The link above doesn't include the gopher:// protocoal designation for 
the URI, so when clicked on, although I'm shifted to Firefox to have the 
link served, it prepends the http:// which results in a 404 from the 
Nginx server - if I manually prepend the gopher:// then it serves up 
those archives just fine.

There used to be a TB plugin that enabled web browsing from withing 
Thunderbird. I  can't remember the name of it now - Thunderbrowse or 
something like that, not even sure if it's still around, but it sure 
would  be nice if those Gopher protocol links resolved as such instead  
of just the hostname with the rest of the URI.

Probably just wishful thinking on my part, huh?

Cameron, your thoughts or comments on that?
