Re: LYNX-DEV sending e-mail

[Samuel van Messel]

When I click on an e-mail address, I get a screen with a prompt for a 
name, address, something else and FINALLY a message. From then on you can 
type a message, press ^a-z ,hit return a thousand times,
 hit the screen, 
pull your hair out, 
but nothing happens. Only if you press ^G you will cancel your message.
