Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two settings?
In fact, there's another (secret) setting in
mm-text-html-renderer-alist, called w3m-standalone. The Gnus
documentation doesn't describe the differences.

`w3m' relies on the external emacs-w3m package. `gnus-w3m' does not,
but also uses the w3m program to parse HTML.

A few weeks ago I was playing around with the different renderers while
updating the MH-E documentation. The main difference that I found was
that gnus-w3m always downloads remote images. With w3m, remote images
are not downloaded by default, but that can be changed to fiddling with
mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp.

Thanks, but I'm less interested in the dependencies than what changes
about the user experience when I choose one or the other. Suppose I
have the option and I don't care about dependencies. Which one should I
choose? The documentation should give me the information to decide.
