No version of Lynx supports Javascript. I think 2.4 predates Javascript.

There is no way of submitting this form as it contains no SUBMIT, TEXT
or IMAGE fields.

I think what you really want to do is use the post-data command line
option on Lynx. Alternatively, use a Perl HTTP module and code the
client yourself.

Best solution is to use a proper email submission protocol. But
otherwise, post-data, or direct submission (the program is basically
name to IP, bind write, close) would be the appropriate solutions.
