I checked '*.el' files of emacs-w3m-emacs-nox11-1.4.598.b.20170903_2 and found following lines in ${PREFIX}${EMACS_VERSION_SITE_LISPDIR}/w3m/octet.el that is installed when OCTET_VIEWER option is enabled. yasu@eastasia[2305]% less -N /usr/local/share/emacs/25.3/site-lisp/w3m/octet.el (snip) 65 ;;; Code: 66 67 (eval-when-compile 68 (require 'cl)) 69 70 (require 'poe) ; for compatibility 71 (require 'pces) ; as-binary-process 72 (require 'mime) ; SEMI 73 (require 'static) 74 (require 'w3m-util); w3m-insert-string At line 72 'mime' is required, and this feature is provided by semi. So if OCTET_VIEWER option is enabled www/emacs-w3m depends on editors/semi.
