        That would be a Lynx-specific hack, so I'm not keen on doing
it for the v2.7 "official release".  What you could do to yield different
URLs but still be valid according to RFC1738 is include an RFC822
conformant comment (in the field for a personal name):

      href="mailto:address@hidden(Elijah%20Secret)"
      title="Comment about erotica">

<a href="mailto:address@hidden(Eli%20Secret)"
   title="UUnet bounce">me mail</a>

<a href="mailto:address@hidden(E.%20Secret)"
   title="Propagation">contact me</a>
[...]
