Somewhere in the thread you can start at

   Linkname: Lynx-Dev Archives: LYNX-DEV distribution and support
          manifesto
        URL: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/lynx-dev/9610/0158.html

you will find reasoning to the effect that the "send a problem
report" dialog should be in the program and not the mother website.

For example, yes there are tea leaves that a CGI script can 
extract from the HTTP headers, but much more about the make
details of the executable and the system environment is available
to the program if we just think about it.
