        You have test clauses in you mailcap file which are not restricted
to those handled internally by Lynx, and you have no mailcap test script
installed on your system.  Use trace mode for a more detailed description
of what is going on.

        You shouldn't need any external tests for Lynx on VMS, so review
the sample mailcap file in the samples subdirectory and see if you can
replace your external tests with ones which Lynx handles internally.
