It is from your site.

I use "sendmail.exe" which is included in the Lynx package and I have
always used the sample "sendmail.bat", with all necessary changes of
course. Lynx 2.8.2rel.1 works without any problems, also print menu.

Thanks for the replies. This isn't actual problem any more, because it is a
normal limitation of Lynx and HTML pages are much more important than
news.

But have you removed the chance to edit textarea by an external editor?
In the dev3 and dev5 "^ve" doesn't start "Q.exe", but in previous
versions it does. I can use "Q" in all other situations without trouble.

Anyway, thanks for the great browser.
