It's been my experience that the hyperlinks I'm meant to click are so
long that they wrap around the terminal width multiple times.  This
makes copy/pasting them tedious at best, and even then it still
sometimes fails for me.  (Either because I can't actually tell which
one I'm supposed to click, just from reading the lynx-dumped source,
or because there's some Javascript that has to be loaded first?)

Passing the entire text/html part to an actual web browser has been
what works best for me.

On the other hand, if I *don't* want to click anything, the lynx-dumped
source code usually gives me a nice synopsis of what the email is
trying to tell me.  So, it's still worth having, even if I don't
try to copy the URLs out of it manually.
