That means you need to edit the lynx.cfg file to provide the smtp host
for the sendmail.exe program as one of the flags of the sendmail command.
BTW, I was looking at LYNews.c, and it seems as if there are enough things
available in the www\library\implementation directory to rewrite LYMail.c
along the lines of LYNews.c and get rid of all this reliance on mail
programs that basically do very little except demand specialized command-
line options.
