This bug report will be sent to the emacs-w3m development team,
 not to your local site managers!!
Please write in simple English, because the emacs-w3m developers
aren't good at English reading. ;-)

Please describe as succinctly as possible:
	- What happened.
	- What you thought should have happened.
	- Precisely what you were doing at the time.

Please also include any Lisp back-traces that you may have.

Dear Bug Team!

The `w3m-version' docstring should IMO make it
more clear that it refers to w3m(1), not
Emacs-w3m. This in particular since Emacs-w3m
uses the w3m- prefix all over - so it is not so
unthinkable at all, that one will take
`w3m-version' for the Emacs-w3m, and not the
w3m version!

So my suggestion is, say this explicitely and
also add a hyperlink to `emacs-w3m-version'.

Third, see the functions `emacs-version' and
`gnus-version'. They are very handy and also
have the common interface that with one C-u,
the version will be inserted at point.
Very handy when asking questions on
listbots/newsgroups, for example. Why not add
the same for Emacs-w3m?

Keep it real :)
