I've pushed to my github copy of the project, a new branch called bb_messaging, which is today's upstream master branch with an enhanced message presentation for the echo area. Although the commit is new, and I don't want to issue a pull request until I test it more and live with it a bit, I wanted to make it available for others to try out, review, test, give feedback, report bugs, etc. https://github.com/Boruch-Baum/emacs-w3m/tree/bb_messaging 1) timeout feature - This part of the patch I had originally written months ago and had meant to submit to the cvs repository. I had been annoyed by some types of transient w3m-messages remaining forever in the echo area, so the feature addresses that annoyance. Sometimes, such messages confuse and mislead about the current state of the program, so it can be more than just an annoyance. (oops, can't think of an example just now. I've been living without that annoyance for months now). 2) colorization - This is something I added today, as I was porting over the first feature. The project uses w3m-message in the echo area for several classes of messages of varying nature, including status updates, warnings, and errors. This feature allows the project to add a visual cue for each. Enjoy. -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0
