Hmm. I don't know why it wouldn't respond to :. I'm using
w3m-0.5.2, but I think it has had that feature for quite a while.
By default, : only affects URLs that are visible on the current
page. To have it linkify all URLs in the document, you need to set
Treat URL-like strings as links in all pages (*)YES ( )NO
The M commands hand the URL of the current page or of the selected
link to the external browser. W3m can't do that with stdin.
I've attached my ~/.w3m/config so that you can compare it with
yours. The 'extbrowser' setting may look odd. I run mutt on a Sun
machine because that's where I do most of my work and have most of
my tools installed but I run Firefox on a Linux machine (also my X
server) because it's easier to install Firefox on Linux than on Sun.
I hardly ever use the second or third external browser. I just
tried using them and they don't work. They did in previous releases
of w3m. Now though, 2M, 3M, 2<Esc>M and 3<Esc>M all open the
page/link in Firefox. I just tested w3m-0.5.1 and it works
correctly. Oh goody, one more thing to look into.
