Apparently not...

Different locus of change. If I already use Pine (since I don't think
Lynx supports pop3: URLs), I might want to maintain my mail reader
separately from Lynx, but be able to mailto: using the file.
I was thinking of adding this TO THE MULTIPLE BOOKMARK SECTION, so that
instead of reading a file, it would run a program and read the output from
that program, much like the "pipe" command in pine, (vi, emacs, ...).
An earlier suggestion would be to define a filter lynx could use between
the HTTP receive and the rendering (so I could put my table renderer or
whatever there).
