The following can be used to get blat.exe to work as an alternative
to sendmail.exe. The blat.exe '-install' option has some kind of
problem installing its user profile on my Windows 98 system, and I
assume that other users would have the same problem. Therefore, you
need to use the sendmail system flags in lynx.cfg to let blat.exe
know the smtp server to use.

The code listed below is not a patch, but a suggestion to the Windows
developers. Note that the code in LYMail refers to _both_ the system_mail
and system_mail_flags in the lynx.cfg file:

=================================================
In your lynx.cfg file:

SYSTEM_MAIL:blat
SYSTEM_MAIL_FLAGS:-server smtp.your.net
=================================================
