lynx-dev mail with lynx

[John W. Chang]

i use lynx to send mail sometimes (through the snendmail utility)
but i noticed that the receiveed mail appears to have an attachment,
stating that some parts of the mail has non-ascii text.

"---Executing: shownonascii
This message contains non-ASCII text, which can only be displayed
properly if you are running X11. What follows
may be partially unreadable, but the English (ASCII) parts"

Is it possible to send regular text as plain text and not as mime attachments?
