Steven found a way to make links work with a mailer but I cannot figure 
out how to use lynx with pmail or mutt (and I may have broken sendmail 
somehow).

BL2 has a /usr/local/bin/sendmail which uses pmail -o ~/Mail/_outbox.
I found in there five mails that I thought I had sent with mutt.

lynx.cfg has some sections you can remove the # from
#SYSTEM_MAIL:/usr/sbin/sendmail
#SYSTEM_MAIL_FLAGS_-t -oi

I tried removing the # and changing sbin to local/bin.

When I tried to use lynx and mailto:  it tried to send the five mails that 
were already in _outbox, but not the one I wrote while in lynx, so first 
of all I need to get that mail into the outbox, and then figure out why 
/usr/sbin/pmail did not send them.  I may have broken it somehow.

Instead of sending even what was in _outbox:
/root/Mail/_outbox has 5 messages ready
sending 1/
reject all target addresses, abort it

This repeated four more times for 2-5.

I may have messed up pmail/mailz because it is not sending with Steven's 
mail program either - I get the same sort of error message flashing by 
when I use it to write a mail and then try to send the mail from outbox to 
SMTP server (4).  reject all target addresses, abort it.

I would suspect the ISP but this has been going on for a while now.

I think Mutt for BL2 was working for me.  The older version.

I deleted /root/Mail/_outbox.  Pmail/mailz seems to use some other mailbox 
because it has two messages it cannot send.

I 'sent' another mail with mutt and it is sitting in /root/Mail/_outbox/1 
now.

pmail appears to send ~/Mail/_outbox (a file) and mutt to send files in
~/Mail/_outbox/1 (files in _outbox directory).

If I type sendmail:
msg_combine:  cannot write to [/root/Mail/_outbox]

I deleted this file - was this a mistake and should I try to put it back, 
but how can I do this if mutt is using _outbox as a directory?

Is there a way to send binary attachments with mailz in BL2?

HELP!
