I did some time ago but received no reply but I'll try raising
the issue again now that I got an affirmative reply from you
that Lynx is the culprit.
On a sidenote my original message seemingly never made it to
the list but it made it to you apparently ;-) I think the flow
on the list is very irregular with long delays between mailing
messages to the list and those surfacing on the list.
Don't you think it would be a good idea to move the list to
yahoogroups or some such place..? I think the delay is impeding
to a natural flow of discussion.
Regards,
Morten
