no, that's not a workaround: i would have to specify each domain,
but the problem is universal with all invalid cookies.

good (wry grin), so why is it so very difficult to get everyone
to concentrate on this, the bug i am calling attention to?
PW again again: when you say you "never" want a cookie from a domain,
Lynx should NEVER AGAIN (during that session) ask you
whether you want any cookie from that domain, incl invalid cookies;
at present, Lynx does ask you every time it is offered an invalid cookie.
it's a simple bug in the code,
an oversight from when cookie-handling was introduced:
it is probably a few characters in 1 line somewhere.
can someone please fix it?
