Re: w3m gives 'Wrong type argument: stringp, nil" error

[ChristopherMBalz@StanfordAlumni.org (Christopher M. Balz)]

The online manual for Emacs-w3m says,

    Emacs-w3m requires the latest version of w3m (version 0.3.1 and
later).

while the Readme that came with the distribution specifies 0.3.1 only.
    
The online manual for Emacs-w3m also says,

  In order to handle text/html part with emacs-w3m under SEMI MUAs
such as T-gnus and Wanderlust, you have to put the following line in
your ~/.emacs file:

     (require 'mime-w3m)

I don't run gnus or Wanderlust, and if I try putting in this line, I
get the stringp, nil error.  I suppose though that this is an
unrelated coincidence.

Well, it would be great to see w3m run inside Emacs.
