Sending email with lynx is confusing the first time, more so when it takes you by surprise. I think most people either don't read that preamble or don't remember it, and who'd think of Ctrl-G. The only other place I've encountered Ctrl-G is to beep the PC speaker in a DOS batch file, when there's an editor that'll let you use that character. > There's also a last-minute chance to abort when it asks something > along the lines of "Send this message (y/n)?".
