The problem is that emacs-w3m and w3m are not installed everywhere. But looking at the code, at least with the Gnus version it'll do this: - if w3m is installed - if emacs-w3m is installed ==> use it - no w3m ==> use w3m standalone - try links - try lynx - try w3 - try html2text - if everything failed, use the default browser Seems plausible to me. Bye, Tassilo -- Movie trivia: The movie "Invasion U.S.A." is, in fact, a documentary.
