True apologies to Eduardo; it was not a "patch," and it was not "turned
down." Got confused with the piece of code included in the following post.
http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month111999/msg00381.html
Reference was made to this a month later in the thread "Setting mailer in
Lynx." Some people may wish to review one solution to the problem:

What you referred to as the "original patch that extened EXTERNAL."

What was the "MAILTO internal page proposal - form with textarea" thread
of Feb. 1999, all about? Here's an interesting quote ("||" prefix added,

Knock, knock. I think that's what I'm saying.

Well, there's "development," and there's "development." Here in Japan
"land development" means first grading a mountain level to build a go-cart
track in the middle of a residential area, then asking for the permit.
