I tried your idea, Jim, for reading mail with a lynxcgi, but all I
got by pressing return on a link on the front end page was a flicker
on the screen. (Flashes the WWW_WAIT_MESSAGE "Getting %s".) Any
diagnosis?

Done.

Test (using babymail)</a>
Pretty much used your sample as is with modifications in the path for my
system. It seems to be reading the script okay. The file `test_m' does
exist in the directory defined in readmail.sh. (I tested the script by
putting `sleep 5' in it, and I did indeed get a pause. During the pause,
it says `Read xx bytes of data.')

Again, I just changed the path names as necessary. I confirmed that
from the unix prompt both `sonofbabymail.pl' and `readmail.sh' work,
i.e., they print to screen an html'ized version of the mbox or test
file.
Any help much appreciated. TIA
