Yeah, but that pisses off Lynx royally.  Lynx does NOT render tables
properly, ever as far as I can tell.  
I just installed w3m, and dumped from that.  It does a better job on the
tables, but not quite as good on the URLs.  It doesn't appear to be smart
enough to not wrap URLs onto multiple lines when dumping.  Later,
