Re: Lynx for gmail account access

Dan,
I can only speak to my personal experience.
I would also strongly suggest writing google accessibility with your 
specific account details, in case they will do privately what they might 
not  share on their mail list.
My first gmail account still works with lynx, but that is mainly because 
gmail considers my shellworld.net service, including   my cookies saved 
here and my ip address to be my home computer.
I am profoundly careful to have cookies for all of the  associated 
services, my  main gmail account will not work well if any of them are 
missing.
sometimes I am asked to reset them as well.
So, if you have a history of logging into your gmail account using lynx 
from the computer in question, including account cookies, it may be 
possible   to reach your main gmail account that way.
I keep adding main gmail account, because I have two of them.
For reasons I can only feel are tied to my not allowing google to save my 
log in stuff on the platform where I was previously accessing this second 
account in lynx, I cannot get there anymore.
I might add that the same can be said for this second account and links 
the chain, or e-links, both of which used to work as well.
My guess about the last two has to do with google using a proprietary 
form of JavaScript.
In one of their blogs, google corporate staff stated that, in their  view, 
only hackers turn off JavaScript, which is the logic they are using for 
blocking JavaScript that is not their own.
