And someone yet else has corrected me that it's a server thing for
gopher and HTTP URLs, a client thing for file and FTP URLs.
Can you give an example of a misbehaving URL?
If it's an HTTP URL, you can do a HEAD request ("]" "l") or turn on
tracing with "^T" to see the headers the server sends. If the server
says "text/plain", I concur with Klaus -- the server is broken --
complain about the server, not about Lynx.
