Re: emacs-w3m question

[Jon Fineman]

GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.34,
cairo version 1.16.0) of 2022-10-28, modified by Debian

I don't have access to my OpenBSD desktop, but I installed emacs from
their default packages. Same here with Debian. I get the same behavior
on both systems.
