Subject: w3m is a pager with www support

Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 08:46:22 +0100

Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-3
Followup-For: Bug #260414


Sorry this bug is silly.

I have w3m for ages and did not care reading it can work as a
pager. Also w3m is far from the best text browser in debian (i
may changed my point of view now that i  m using it extensively).

But it s also imo the best pager out there , it could RIP "less".
It support gzipped text, pictures be it in fb or vt,
utf8. That s not bad and it does it fast.


To help other fellow see the light , i suggest that the
description be reversed from "web browser with pager
capabilities", to "pager with advanced capabilites : http, ftp,
pictures". And move it from web to tools section.

I turned my pager alternative to w3m for what it worsts.

Thanks for this great tool
Alban
