This has been eating at my conscience for quite a while. Is there any
way to get the e-mail address of the person logging in (with a script
or program separate from Lynx, sort of like those anonymous ftp logins),
and then have Lynx put that address (now an environment variable) in the
From: header of e-mail, and newsposts, without the option of modifying
the From: header when running a restricted anonymous Lynx? The ultimate
would be to require only those wishing to e-mail or post to enter their
e-mail address. If no address were input and the environment variable
were empty, then e-mail and newsposting would be disallowed. It wouldn't
stop the hardcore abuser, but it would probably foil the casual prankster.
