I've done it in the emacs-w3m git master as follows: Allow url like "file:foo.txt" (bug#969386 of debian) emacs-w3m assumes the file to be existent in `w3m-default-directory' (if specified), the current directory, or the home directory. * w3m.el (w3m-url-to-file-name): Allow url like "file:foo.txt", that doesn't specify server and/or directory. * w3m-util.el (w3m-url-local-p): Check also if the file really exists.
