Can you give an example of the parameter on the TEXTAREA tag; it is quite
possible that the limit is in the forms, not in Lynx.  If they use INPUT
elements, the form should probably be considered broken.  It is also
just possible they are using GET, in which case the parameters of the
FORM tag would be useful.

If you have command line access, the best way of preparing offline is
probably to use -post, or provide the data on the command line (can
you supply the parameters of the FORM tag so we can see which it is
expecting).
