Do you mean the _links_ numbered?  That's the one thing that annoys me 
most, and I know of no way around it..  (I tried to add the "obvious"
line of code into Lynx to add a -nonumber_links option but it didn't work..)

I do a 
/usr/local/bin/lynx -useragent='Mozilla/4.04 [en]' -nolist -dump 
http://www.imdb.com/StudioBrief | mail address@hidden

as a daily crontab job, and the annoying thing is the numbered links..
