Take a look at the source.  Besides ill-formed comments, there's a
SELECT element with no end-tag, which is illegal and could very well
be confusing Lynx.

If you're investigating their spam, you can get the information you
want (probably even more) by telnetting to www.rollanet.org port 80,
and entering the HTTP commands directly:

geode-1> telnet www.rollanet.org 80        ; I type this
Trying 192.55.114.3 ...                    ; I get this
Connected to gamma.rollanet.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /~leathers/fake-email.htm HTTP/1.0     ; I type this
                                           ; and a blank line
HTTP/1.1 200 OK                            ; I get this
Date: Mon, 03 Nov 1997 15:26:23 GMT        ; and more
Server: Apache/1.2.4
