I tried using alpine connected to lynx to read this kind of webmail and 
couldn't locate any urls in the webmail.  I asked on this list if there 
was anything that had been done to the formating of the webmail to make 
this happen and if there was anything that could be done about it to make 
this accessible to alpine using lynx as its web browser.  That's what this 
has to do with lynx.
