Subject: Re: File Entry Fields in Lynx

OK, so I look at the source for this web page and see all kinds of
javascript and animations wanting to start. Doesn't look like a lynx the cat
kind of form.

Now, the underlying problem, why the heck can't one just attach a file to
one's email? Seems like a roundabout way to do something for which there's a
simpler, more direct option.

By the way, www.yousendit.com seems to have no good explanation for why they
exist, either.
