The behavior of the function in question (w3m-url-decode-string) has never changed basically since it was introduced in August, 2001. I'm not sure whether replacing +'s with spaces is wrong but I believe it is done for a user to view with the eyes, not for copying a url. The function does not only replacing +'s with spaces but also decoding characters that are represented in the hexadecimal form. In the later case, it might fail in copying a url displayed in the echo area to the other client because of non-ASCII characters. Therefore, I think the best way for you is to not decode urls that are displayed in the echo area. To do that: (setq w3m-show-decoded-url nil) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
