Hi Travis,

There'll be tags unknown to lynx in those urls.  I don't know what if any 
effect stripping those unknown tags out will have in terms of where you 
end up when using any of those links.  That being said, that could be a 
useful exercise for this and similar mail in the future.  I piped this to 
urlview and urlscan and the file both of them produced had nothing in it. 
If you get a rawstory email message the sizes of the messages are 
consistently close to 2mb each.  That's if you get them direct from 
rawstory itself not if you send them anywhere else.
Earlier I tried to sign up for rawstory through a subscribe link and was 
thrown at a captcha I couldn't complete.  How it was I even got on 
rawstory's mailing list this time was by voting in one of their polls and 
giving them an email address and checking a box that I was not a resident 
of the United Kingdom then hitting submit.  There was no captcha required 
that second way into the subscriptions.
