Subject: emacs21-common: Please integrate w3m-el browser into browse-url...
commands.
Package: emacs21-common
Version: 21.4a-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
If package 'w3m-el' is installed, it should be possible to use it as the
WWW browser when issuing one of the browse-url... commands in 'browse-url.el'.
IMHO, w3m should even be the default browser when installed, because if I
want to browse an HTML file from emacs, I do not want to leave the editor.
But this may be a controversial issue, thus it seems to be sufficient to let
a user set the configuration variable 'browse-url-browser-function' if needed.
The attached patch is my personal workaround for the missing integration,
it might be useful as a starting point for a standard solution.
Regards, Andreas Hoenen
