Re: [Lynx-dev] reaching google in basic html with lynx.

[Travis Siegel]

For what it's worth, when I clicked on that link, it brought me to the 
google page, and asked me if I was sure I wanted to turn on the html 
only (or whatever it was) feature of gmail.  I have a gmail account only 
because some sites require it.  I have never once actually checked said 
mail, and never plan to.

But, it did work.
