Possibly. Please read the Emacs NEWS file, section "New Modes and Packages in Emacs 22.1" to see which packages have been integrated. Also see GNUS-NEWS in the same directory as NEWS. >> As for w3m, I installed a package w3m-el-snapshot and this works fine >> with emacs-snapshot.

For me, just putting the following two lines into my .emacs sets up w3m properly and does TRT when clicking on links in Gnus: (if (fboundp 'w3m-browse-url) (setq browse-url-browser-function 'w3m-browse-url)) Cheers, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
