Henry has already replied to this; I just add that you didn't
decribe the problem very well. You could be talking about files
retrieved from http: URLs. In that case what Lynx does will also
depend on whether the server is sending the right Content-Encoding
and Content-Type headers. You can test that (in most cases) with
Lynx's ']' HEAD command.
For the specific case of your example suffix .xbm, it already has a
default mapping in the source code, src/HTInit.c, from the following
line:
HTSetSuffix(".xbm", "image/x-xbitmap", "binary", 1.0);
However, this is inconsistent with the documentation in the distributed
lynx.cfg, which has
#SUFFIX:.xbm:image/x-xbm
and
#VIEWER:image/x-xbm:xv %s&:XWINDOWS
(It is also inconsistent with
HTSetPresentation("image/x-xbm", XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND, 1.0, 3.0, 0.0, 0);
in src/HTInit.c.)
This may or may not have to do something with what you observe.
What *does* happen when you access such a file or URL?
