Awfully sorry for this leaked test...
Still, it's relevant. How'd you like implementing Leonid's idea
from <http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month021999/msg00469.html>:

with *no* changes to lynx code, just a couple lynxcgi scripts and
a RULE redirection? (That's what I was testing.)
Pick any CGI e-mail package, of the many that are publically available.
Install it as a local lynxcgi script(s). Modify slightly if there
are hardwired assumptions about using "real" CGI (like hardwired "http:"/
"https:" absolute URLs).
Redirect mailto:* to a page with a form including a textarea for entering
the message body, with action pointing to the CGI e-mail package's
script that invokes sendmail. That's basically all.
No lynxexec/lynxprog. Stuff like "...&subject=...&cc=..." from the
mailto URL can get passed to the page for composing (a lynxcgi script)
in the usual CGI way, with special characters already URL-escaped
(as they should be in mailto URLs).
