[gopher] OverbiteFF 2.0

[Cato Auestad]

This is reply doesn't really have anything to do with the current upgrades,
but do you think it is possible to implement a function in OverBite that
turns "gopher://" into statically linked adresses in Firefox? When I see the
link to the screenshot in Gmail in Firefox, the "gopher.floodgap.com" adress
is linked, but it is to a WWW server, not a gopher, and the "gopher://" part
becomes just unlinked text. It would be nice to be able to just click the
link and automatically go to "gopher://<link>" just like "http://" or
"ftp://"
