There is no code in Lynx, AFAIK, that would do that sort of replacement.
Must be a "feature" of your curses or ncurses...

Lynx's -trace output doesn't go to the screen via curses functions, but
directly via fprintf to stderr.  Therefore the curses functions have no
chance to apply that "feature".

The slang output routines can do a similar, but different, replacement,
but that would use '^' and '~' prefixes, not 'M-'.

Maybe you'll just have to apply the right stty command, like `stty 8bit'
or whatever.  Your problems may also be realted to the fact that your
mail arrived here labelled as "charset=UNKNOWN-8BIT"...
