this of course will cause trouble with html emails that are not encoded in iso-8859-1(5). better do: text/html; w3m -I '%{charset}' -T text/html -dump; copiousoutput (untested... something similar works for me with elinks. perhaps it's necessary to replace the single quotes around %{charset} with double quotes.) > In case there is another newcomer besides me out there, I'll document how I > implemented this solution.

After doing that, the installation worked for me (on MacOSX > 10.6.3). if that still happens with a recent version of macports, it sounds like something that should be reported to the macports project... -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
