lynx-dev Persistent cookies between batch-mode Lynx calls? |

When compiled / configured properly, Lynx handles Hotmail's cookies
perfectly... when run in interactive mode.
When called from the command line or from within a script, however, Lynx
does not seem able to handle Hotmail's cookies.
Does Lynx clean out / erase its cookie file between sessions (be they
interactive or command line mode)? Does Lynx simply not save/handle cookies
in command line mode?
I'm using these cookie-specific options in /etc/lynx.cfg :-
# SET_COOKIES:TRUE
# ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES:TRUE
# COOKIE_FILE:~/.lynx_cookies
# PERSISTENT_COOKIES:TRUE
All help is appreciated. :)

P.S. Reason behind this post: I'm trying to make a script which will login
and retrieve emails from Hotmail; the script uses Lynx & Lynx has until now
been perfect for the job. However, Hotmail has introduced cookies and Lynx
just can't cope in command line mode.

NT is for the Navy; the Vikings would have used Linux.
