[PATCH] debian: add a recommends for w3m-el or w3m-el-snapshot to notmuch-emacs

[David Bremner]

From: David Bremner <bremner@debian.org>

Installing w3m-el provides a nicer out of the box experience for
viewing html in notmuch, and the overhead is not too bad (about 5M
diskspace).

Hi David.

I am not sure recommending w3m-el is a good idea.  It has very annoying
bugs with scrolling (C-n): at some point the cursor jumps back above,
i.e. it goes in a loop.  I did not investigate the issue though.

Regards,
  Dmitry

Hi Dmitry;

What do you think should be the default setup for rendering HTML in
notmuch?

I think standalone w3m is currently better than w3m-el because of the
cursor move issue I described above.  It has issues with charset, but it
should not affect most (i.e. English-only) users (and should be fixed
some day :)).

w3m-el would be better if we investigate and fix the cursor move issue.

Regards,
  Dmitry

Given the discussion, should this be 'obsolete'?

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Go for it.
