The configure script does not offer me option 3:

Which language do you prefer?
1 .. Japanese (charset ISO-2022-JP, EUC-JP, Shift_JIS) (LANG=JA)
2 .. English (charset US_ASCII, ISO-8859-1, etc) (LANG=EN)
[12]? 

When I get time I'll look into this.  It would be nice to know how to
get it to compile correctly.  :-)

I just re-compiled to see:

$ src/w3mmee-p24-23/w3mmee -version
w3m version w3m/0.3.2+mee-p24-23-en, options lang=en,image,color,ansi-color,mouse,menu,cookie,ssl,ssl-verify,w3mmailer,nntp,gopher,ipv6,mark,romaji

I have the Debian libmoe-1.5.7 and libmoe-dev packages, along with their
w3mmee (for testing purposes) package:

$ w3mmee -version
w3m version w3m/0.3.2+mee-p24-19+moe-1.5.0, options lang=many,kanji-symbols,image,color,ansi-color,mouse,menu,cookie,ssl,ssl-verify,w3mmailer,nntp,gopher,ipv6,mark,romaji

however, this version has serious issues with emacs 23.0.60.  The
keyboard freezes on 'M-x w3m' - it worked with emacs 22 and early emacs
23.0.50 though.
 
I think I'll join you and use w3m from now on.  It works well and seems
to be just a little faster.  :-)

Thanks for the advice.

All the best

Joe
