:the TITLE attibute of the anchor tag. But Lynx 2.7 (probably
:the version from a week ago) only uses the title for the
:first one.

I could reproduce this problem.  It seems as if Lynx is binding a
particular title value to a particular mailto url, at every future
instance of the mailto URL, the same TITLE is used.  When I tested it, I
used my standard test template which also has a whole bunch of LINKs
defined.  The rel value also seems to have propogate.  For example, in a
document with the following: 

<link rel=previous href="mailto:address@hidden";>
...
<a href="mailto:address@hidden"; title="some title here">
...
<a href="mailto:address@hidden"; title="some other title here">

the default subject used when any of these links is activated is
"previous" (if the LINK hadn't been there, the default subject for both
links would be "some title here"). For a different mailto URL, say

<a href="mailto:address@hidden"; title="another subject">

there isn't a problem (but again this propogates).  The TITLE attribute
doesn't seem to show up in the info page either (I though it did).

It has been observed that one's nose is never so happy as when it is
thrust into the affairs of another, from which some physiologists have
drawn the inference that the nose is devoid of the sense of smell.
