    I think I may have found a bug in the colon (':') function, described
    on the Help screen as, "Mark URL-like strings as anchors." I am not
    sure that w3m's behavior is incorrect--it just didn't do what I expected
    it to do.

    I received e-mail containing the following URL:

        http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2000/10/20/24336/134

    (The e-mail was "YOUR LINUX TODAY NEWSLETTER FOR October 22, 2000".) I
    used w3m to read the message and typed ':' to highlight the URLs. w3m
    highlighted only the portion of this URL up to the semicolon (';'),
    i.e., it treated the semicolon as a delimiter instead of as part of the
    URL. If a semicolon is a valid character within a URL, w3m should have
    highlighted it and the rest of the URL as well.

    I am using w3m-0.1.11-pre.

    BTW, this is a really useful feature of w3m!

    Regards,
    Gary
