w3mman should set MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING=1 in the environment to instruct
man not to invoke col to strip away formatting characters, which it
normally does by default when writing to a pipe. I added this feature to
man-db with the express intention that it should be used by programs
like pinfo and w3mman that invoke man and can do something with its
formatted output. Patch attached.
Doing this looks as though it should fix #426362 too.
Thanks,

instruct man to preserve formatting characters in its output rather than
filtering them through col (closes: #325699, #426362; LP: #283975,
#353900).
