but w3m used without emacs-w3m does _not_ exhibit this bug!  i've
tried (i) emacs-w3m, (ii) w3m and (iii) elinks on the wiki in
question;  only emacs-w3m does the corruption of `&' characters in
POST requests.

btw:  [emacs-w3m:00150] would be a rather old article, emacs-w3m is
higher than 05085 now.  do you mean this is an old issue?

gnus-CVS (i'm using the released version .10.3) has RSS support, so
what is special about emacs-w3ms shimbun support?  has this to do with
multi-byte characters or do yomiury and asahi not offer regular news
syndication via RSS, like many other sites have started to?
