Hi,
I found the following diff
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=lynx_nospam.diff;att=1;bug=137480
It makes lynx to use anonymous@ instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] as password for
anonymous ftp connections.
Testet on i386 with OpenBSD 4.4 (sorry, no -current around).
Regards
Dieter
