Yes, I could go along with that.  Probably even worse than lynx.

Tried that before, about the only difference I could see was
colourisation of the output.  It was still a bastard to navigate
through.

I can't recall what thread that was.  I can see one (potential) problem

If you use local DNS servers to resolve local machine names, only the
local one will do that.  If your PCs try to use the ISP's DNS servers to
resolve a local machine, it'll fail.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
