The think I particularly like is lynx puts in a citationnumber (eg [13]) wherever there is a link. Then it prints the entirelist of citations at the end of the message.

LaBadie I confirm that this solution works. I wonder if it would be worth it for me to make it the default and what that would entail (since everyone seems to be only sending email in HTML nowadays). Btw, I have a different related issue. When I forward this email with the hidden links, the links do not get forwarded. How do I ensure that this happens? So, when I forwarded using mutt the article that generated the request above, only the "Edit Article" text got sent, but not the hidden link with it. Thanks very much!
