Lynx on Gmail and on my webmail

There seems to be a problem with submission of long text in forms to https.
I use Lynx 2.8.8dev.15 (18 Nov 2012) on Gmail (
https://mail.google.com/mail/h/16gqxd6fxycvr/?&v=b&pv=tl&cs=b )
When sending a big email, the https submission stalls then fails. This is
reproductible, use a mail text of 200 lines and 15kBytes.
Am I alone to have that problem ?

No, I've definitly encountered it.
Fortunately for me, it has been in forwarding email,
and almost always, I can trim almost all of the forwarding
to just enough to indicate a mailing that the people are
top posting in response to, for some context. :-)

It's a real problem.

so... is it a new bug (a regression), or something that we've stumbled onto after a while?

i honestly am not sure I follow the problem. are you always sending tons
of quoted texts? I send files with many lines to myself and elsewhere
via gmail all the
time without issue. Still I use lynx on an open source service so it may
make a difference.
