I recently upgraded to testing and in the process made the move from emacs21 to emacs22. I purged the old packages, having had some strange things happen in switching emacsen in the past, and reinstalled those I used after switching to version 22. I didn't install gnus though.. I have generally used a newer version than is in the packages and put it in my .elisp folder. But, in this instance I had moved that folder in order to start things up fresh and add things back as needed, and never put gnus in my path. Oversight and all. However, I didn't realize this at first, and had used gnus for a week or two before I noticed that it shouldn't have been working at all.
The mode line reports it as 5.11, which is the same that I had before, and it seems overall to be okay. It looks fine anyway, and I have not seen any complaints about my .gnus.el file. However, I cannot get w3m-browse-url to work with gnus, even though w3m-el is installed, and w3m works in emacs in general. I can type M-x w3m-browse-url and everything is fine. But, if I set that for the appropriate functions for gnus and the like (browse-url-function?) and then try to follow an url in an email, I get a complaint about no such file or program. I have been entirely unable to figure it out. This has brought me to trying to find out where gnus is loading from in the first place. I browsed through packages.debian.org for emacs22 and such, checking the files in them, but with so many apparent emacs packages being drawn in for emacs22 I couldn't really figure out for sure if an install of gnus is already in one of them. Does emacs22 install gnus by default, without another package? And if so, why would it ignore w3m-browse-url? I have moved my gnus download into my path in hopes of using it, but I cannot be sure which gnus is even being loaded. I cannot even tell if there is another gnus in the system in the first place, though something sure was loading.. I would appreciate any suggestions about what may be happening and how I may be able to get w3m incorporated better.
