Re: [Lynx-dev] rawstory and lynxFwd: The two words the GOP wants you to forget (fwd)

Jude,
I am not sure what is happening for you, but I could access links in your 
example, being taken to the articles.
My setup is at shellworld, I am using pine to read these emails, and Lynx 
is the browser that runs when I choose a link.
Are you accessing gmail in basic html?
To be sure, there is a grand deal of spoken clutter,  but based on my own 
test I am wondering if the confusion lies with your gmail display instead?
Lynx had no trouble taking me to articles,  the ones I tried at least.
Kare
