Hmm... I thought it was spelled "lynx" :-)

P.S... if you're running a text based mail client from X Windows (i.e. in an
xterm), you can, if you wish, tell it to load HTML or web pages in a
graphical browser (such as Netscape)...  So don't think you're limited to
Lynx if you use a text-based mail client.
