If you are better off using w3m these days. I'm not sure how to parse the last sentence, but does w3m-el handle links? In any case, w3 is used for much more than displaying text mail, it is also used for parsing data from various web services, both web boards and google in Gnus. I have seen other Lisp packages use w3 for fetching and parsing data from other web services, like dictionaries. And finally, my old dream was to integrate W3 and customize, so you can use W3 to write wizards (or "saints") i.e. interactive tutorials for customizing Emacs, in an extended HTML. W3 have a few tags for that purpose, but it only really makes sense if W3 is bundled with both emacsen.
