Glad you could reproduce :) > … that makes no sense (lynx is a browser, after all, and you can > use the extensions menu to make it open links in other browser), > until we come to… My use case is that I read email using a 50-year-old (!) text-only mail client called MH/nmh, and as more and more messages abandon plaintext in favour of HTML-only content I've found that 'lynx -dump' is by far the best way to render that HTML as plain text (for which, thank you!). By rendering with lynx I can then easily and extremely quickly skim through a hundred inlined emails in a single pager session; having full URLs present in the text is then super useful, enabling me to open links if absolutely necessary.
