Kalus' stuff is urgent, at least for me and everybody else living in
ISO-8859-2 countries. People make their pages only in Windows encoding,
and start to mark the pages as text/html; charset=Windows-1250, so normal
lynxes can't handle that.. :-(

By the way, would it be possible to change the behaviour of lynx
encountering a wrong MIME type (such as text/x-server-parsed-html) or
wrong character-set from the current

text/x-server-parsed-html  D)ownload, or C)ancel

to something like this:

text/x-server-parsed-html  D)ownload, C)ancel or I)gnore

With the wrong charset, I would vote for something like

D)ownload, C)ancel, I)gnore, S)et this charset as default

And when I'm at my wishes, my favorite one - would it be possible to make
the "Raw 8-bit or CJK m(O)de" saveable?
