In lynx.cfg:

VIEWER:application/x-bzip2:bzcat %s | $PAGER

or

VIEWER:application/x-bzip2:bunzip2 -c %s | $PAGER

or

VIEWER:application/x-bzip2:bzip2 -dc %s | $PAGER

I use bzcat because the other two make bzip2 to give a "broken pipe" message
at the end. No need to put references to bzip2 in .mime.types or .mailcap.

I also use these for reading the directories of zip, lzh and pma archives:

VIEWER:application/lzh:lha v %s | $PAGER
VIEWER:application/zip:unzip -v %s | $PAGER
VIEWER:application/pma:lha v %s | $PAGER

And this one for correctly reading manpages:

VIEWER:application/man:$PAGER %s
