I did this too, except I simply redefined `jde-file-to-url' in my
.emacs.  Would it be straightforward to make that format string a user
variable?


That workaround will soon be unnecessary.


In general, emacs-w3m was not allowing file://localhost/ URLs,
even though command-line w3m did.  I have reported this
as a problem to the emacs-w3m list.  Thanks to quick work
by Katsumi Yamaoka, this problem has been fixed.  The fix
should appear in the next release of emacs-w3m, or you might be
able to dig up a patch from the emacs-w3m mailing list archive.

Cheers,

Charles
