Re: [Lynx-dev] Request for help identifying cause of issue rendering page elements

Hi manil,
I do not use twitter so cannot share the best e-mail address for me that

Given the importance access to Lynx will play in Canada's digital future, 
I welcome staying involved.
If you cc in
address@hidden
I would be apprecitive.
Kare
