I like the idea of a form ... and though it would be best to ask
explicitly what version of lynx they are having troubles with, I find it
is often very helpful to snatch some such info in the CGI script which
catches the form input and include that in the resulting e-mail message as
well.

What I think might help most here is (in perl format):

$remote = $ENV {'REMOTE_HOST'} ;
$user_sw = $ENV {'HTTP_USER_AGENT'} ;

...

print "Submitted from host '$remote'\n";
print "using '$user_sw'.\n";

or whatever re-styled version of it you choose to use.

That way, if they are using the version of lynx on which they are
reporting the problem, it is noted. If not, we just have extra info.
