Lynx running under Unix can find out who you are on the system by checking your user id and the hostname.
When I run lynx (2.3.7 beta) to <URL: http://www.anonymizer.com/cgi-bin/snoop.pl >, it says: Here's a sampling of the kind of information that a site can collect on you (please wait a moment): Your computer is a Unix box. Your Internet browser is Lynx. You are coming from jobe.shell.portal.com. You just visited the Anonymizer Home Page. No user name here. Also, when I follow a mailto: link it asks me to input the email address I want the mail to be from! So I don't think it is using local user name information, although certainly that is potentially available to it. Hal
