This reminds me of an irritation that happens on OS X.  I
select a link to a document with "Content-type: application/pdf"
and path suffix ".pdf"  Lynx fetches it and launches a viewer
according to the EXTENSION_MAP.  But the suffix of the workfile
in $TMPDIR is not ".pdf", and the viewer rejects it.

How does Lynx select the suffix of the workfile?

Thanks,
