This was my experience on a Mac, OS X 10.4.x running Carbon emacs (based on emacs 22.x). this is something we can test and verify to avoid the common online mis-info. Maybe i'll do so again later today, but anyone who has w3m installed can easily check. Please report back. i searched for my last message posted here about w3m. Apparantly i reported back than from my experience that w3m+emacs is some 5 times slower than a full featured web browser http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.help/msg/55a6c1b941d3973c Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
