Re: html images still not viewed in gnus 

First of all, I storongly recommend you make it possible to read
the Info manual.  I think you might be able to find a solution
by yourself.

(We are very busy answering to too basic questions even though
we only have the same time that you have.  Although any
questions are welcome, you should read the manuals, including
the Emacs manual, and do all you can in advance.)

Make sure things listed below are what they should be.

* In the /usr/local/info/ directory, there are files of which
  names begin with `emacs-w3m' (e.g., emacs-w3m.info,
  emacs-w3m.info-1, ...).  If not, try to install emacs-w3m
  again, and confirm where those files are installed.  The
  directory can be altered using the `--infodir=' configure
  option.

* In the /usr/local/info/dir file, there is the entry which
  begins with `* Emacs-w3m:'.  If not, add it to the file like
  the following:

  % su root
  # echo '* Emacs-w3m: (emacs-w3m). An Emacs interface to w3m' >> /usr/local/info/dir

* Start Emacs and make sure the `Info-default-directory-list'
  Lisp variable contains the dirctory named `/usr/local/info/'
  (it might be `/usr/local/info').  To know the value for the
  variable, type `C-h v' (or `M-x describe-variable RET') for
  it.  If not, put the following lines in your ~/.emacs file.

(setq Info-default-directory-list
      (cons "/usr/local/info/" Info-default-directory-list))
(eval-after-load "info"
  '(setq Info-directory-list Info-default-directory-list))

And then, start Emacs and type `M-x info RET d m Emacs-w3m RET'.
To learn how to use Info, type `M-x info RET d m info RET'.

Yes it does.

Unfortunately, it has not yet reached to me.  I don't know why,
but it might be better to compress it using gzip, zip, lha, etc.

Sorry.  The report-emacs-w3m-bug command is not autoloaded since
emacs-w3m should be run beforehand to gather some infomations.

Thanks.  There seems to be no oddity.

You needed to load w3m or to run w3m (in this situation, `w3m'
means the w3m Lisp command which is provided by the emacs-w3m
package).

That's good.  The directory is very common.

That's good.

`mm-inline-text-html-renderer' is semi-obsolete.
Use of `mm-text-html-renderer' is better.  It is mentioned in
the documentation for the `mm-inline-text-html-renderer'
variable; use `C-h v' (or `M-x describe-variable RET') for it.

Please read the Info manual by typing:

M-x info RET d m Emacs-w3m RET m Gnus RET C-s Notes

Hm, I couldn't find out what blocks you to see inline images
after all.
