Re: [OT] w3m Configuration Problem
* "John P. Verel" [EMAIL PROTECTED] [28/01/01, 13:24:37]: Well, I wimped out and got the w3m-0.1.11-0.1mdk rpm and re-installed. All's well. FWIW, my first reaction is that w3m is way better that lynx. For example, compare the www.nytimes.com under each. Not even close! There's not much that's (visually) worse than lynx as a web browser/pager. :) Links is nice, too. I'll have to compare theese programs.

Kai I must say I like what I'm seeing with w3m. For the benefit of the list, with thanks to Gary Johnson, here's a mailcap entry that allows one to print an html page, viewed with w3m as a pager in Mutt: text/html; w3m -T text/html -dump %s; copiousoutput; print= w3m -T text/html -dump %s | enscript With this in one's mailcap, pressing 'p' while in the w3m pager will pipe a nicely formatted page to enscript. Thanks, Gary, for the help on this. -- John P. Verel Norwalk, CT

Hi, Wilhelm. Well, I wimped out and got the w3m-0.1.11-0.1mdk rpm and re-installed. All's well. FWIW, my first reaction is that w3m is way better that lynx. For example, compare the www.nytimes.com under each. Not even close! Thanks. John On 01/28/01, 10:28:09AM +0100, Wilhelm Wienemann wrote: Hello John! On Sat, 27 Jan 2001, John P.

I've moved the default config file into ~/.w3m/ (named config) When I start w3m with a fully expanded url, I get a segfault. If you get a segfault message then it seems to be a problem with your system-environment, espacially your (recent) Library. Maybe your 'w3m' version is linked against another (older/newer?) Library. That's a reason to compile your own 'w3m' program which will work with your system-environment. bye - Wilhelm
[OT] w3m option setting [Was: [OT] w3m Configuration Problem]

It has some very nice features. For example, you can pipe an e-mail message into it from your mailer (I use mutt), then type a colon (:) and w3m will convert any text that looks like a URL into a link so that you can easily browse it. If you would like to ask w3m questions in a more appropriate forum, you can subscribe to the w3m-dev-en mailing list.
