[emacs-w3m:10480] Re: w3m mode should extend to .txt files by default

Is it possible to adapt that idea to force w3m to open local files
that do not end with "\\.[sx]?html?\\'" as HTML?

Here's an example: run

  cd /tmp/
  wget http://angg.twu.net/emacs.html
  cp -v ~/TH/L/emacs.html /tmp/emacs.ht
  cp -v ~/TH/L/emacs.html /tmp/emacs.txt
  wget http://www.polimetrica.com/main/list.php

  # Optional
  # (find-file "~/.w3m/")
  # (shell-command-to-string "rm -Rv ~/.w3m/")
  rm -Rv ~/.w3m/

and now (broken, but I hope this may be a step in the right
direction):

  (w3m "file:///tmp/emacs.html")
  (w3m "file:///tmp/emacs.txt")
  (w3m "file:///tmp/emacs.ht")
  (w3m "file:///tmp/list.php")
  (let ((w3m-local-find-file-regexps '(nil . "")))
    (w3m "file:///tmp/emacs.html"))
  (let ((w3m-local-find-file-regexps '(nil . "")))
    (w3m "file:///tmp/emacs.txt"))
  (let ((w3m-local-find-file-regexps '(nil . "")))
    (w3m "file:///tmp/emacs.ht"))
  (let ((w3m-local-find-file-regexps '(nil . "")))

You mean you want open any local file as HTML? Maybe, this is what you
want.
