        That's not going to help him.  He wants a form with a list of
  addresses from which a subset is selected, and submitted to a lynxcgi
  script for actual mailing.  No one has reported any problems with
  lynxcgi, nor has that code changed, for at least a year, so he must
  have local compilation or configuration inadequacy to correct, but
  I don't have any good guess on what it might be.  Just read the
  "self-documentation" in userdefs.h and lynx.cfg carefully, and make
  sure it's all OK.
  
Well, the way I read his post, he would _take_ a working cgi script,
but he would _rather_ just use a mailto: and be done with it.

The way you have implemented cc: as a mailto: paramter --

        - can the parameter contain a list of email addresses?

        - can the user edit the cc: list to kill some but not
        all of the emails provided by the URL?

If he has that, I'm not sure he needs a form.
