        HTInit.c overrides lynx.cfg for SUFFIX and VIEWER definitions,
and then mime.types and .maillcap override HTInit.c.  The suffixes are
used only for ftp and file URLs.  The Content-Type header from http
servers is used, and perhaps some server is sending a bogus (e.g.,
text/plain) header for those files.

        Yes.  Use context diffs, and don't bother encoding them.

        Fote is not an active developer any more.  He just fools around
now, and makes his personal mods available in compliance with the
GNU GPL.  If you use context diffs, and a v2.7.1 code set (vanilla,
development, or fotemods), there shouldn't be a problem.
