  Indeedy.

  Not sure.  Stallman has had the papers for quite a while.  Perhaps if I
get lucky with the timing of Emacs-W3 3.0 and Emacs 19.36.  Its been in
XEmacs (aka Lemacs) since the 19.(10? 11?) days.

  I actually just made a few patches to VM so that it can display inlined
HTML.  So stupid netscape 4.0 stuff isn't a problem for me anymore. :)
