For reasons that will soon become obvious, I can’t answer your question exactly as asked. But maybe I can help anyway. I don’t use Wanderlust, but VM, which I do use, has certain similarities to Wanderlust. I was pondering how to use emacs-w3m with VM not too long ago, and it seemed kind of daunting. At that point, I noticed that it was possible to use w3m directly with VM, basically redirecting w3m’s stdout to VM’s stdin. I tried it, and I’m quite pleased with the results. Maybe Wanderlust lets you do this, too? /Lew --- Lew Perin / perin@acm.org http://babelcarp.org
