In /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg, /etc/lynx.cfg, or wherever it has been put by
whoever installed your Lynx.  There must be one, otherwise Lynx would
complain and exit.

The first thing you should do is restrict people from sending mail
with a bogus return address like "address@hidden".  'Coz if you
don't, they may never see the answers to their questions...

If you are concerned about restricting users, you should get a newer
code set from <http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/> or
<http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/current/>.
