[w3m-dev-en 00186] problems with LESSOPEN variable

I have the env var LESSOPEN declared with '|lesspipe "%s"'. This is
confusing w3m with local files (or frames).

The problem is when less (with lesspipe) opens a html file, it passes the
file through lynx to display rendered text, and then passes to w3m, which
wants source html text.

I want the behavior of less bringing to me rendered text; it makes viewing
html files easy. If I want to view the source, I just use VI ':)

How I can fix it? I have already removed the pipe reference from file.c on
w3m, but I'm not secure about this is the better solution. Is it?

Attached is the patch to ignore pipes...

Best regards,
