Doesn't matter. Lynx also has the -nolist flag to turn this behavior
off. I use it that way, since I write my links such that the full URL
appears as the button.

The one problem I have with Lynx output is that there are certain
continuation lines I need to have indented specially (from tags that
turn into minidigest Subject: lines), but this is easily corrected by
postprocessing.
