I would be willing to put up with a fair amount of clunkiness in other departments if I could have a browser in which every text window was an Emacs window. Replacing Pine & NN with Gnus was a new birth of freedom for me. You can use Lynx and set the editor to emacs. This is what I do, and it works fine. (Lynx isn't running under Emacs though, just invoking it.) I'm pretty sure there is also a plugin for Mozilla that lets you edit text fields with the editor of your choice. Presumably emacs-w3m also has the feature you're looking for (and it does run under emacs), though I don't use it personally.
