Ok, Dan did not quite write "text/html", but with my email client,
Mutt, I can pipe an attachment into a command which of course is the way
mutt treats the html included with Dan's email. So, being the command
guy that I am, I tried piping the html attachment into lynx. Uh, but
it treated the html file as a file containing a long URL and started
flashing up funky pages. So, I am wondering, how do you pipe html into
lynx. Understand I am mostly a command type of guy, who works on my box with
the most advanced graphics capability being a curses based app. How do
I get lynx to diplay html that is piped into it?

Here is an example.
This does not work, but I would like it to work. Do I need to specify an option
for lynx?

$ cat file.html | lynx

This works

$ lynx -dump file.html | less
