LYNX-DEV lynx, text/html and non-standard suffixes

  Hi,
  
  I have noticed that Lynx 2.6 tries to download rather than
  display a MIME-type text/html file if it has a non-standard
  suffix.
  
  This is particularly galling as the without-graphics versions
  of some sites are distinguished by a non-standard suffix (eg .ht1,
  standing for HTML level 1.)
  
  Is there a way round this?
  
  And is this obedience to the suffix rather than the MIME-type
  a bug that crops up in many browsers?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Ian
