The file will download or display depending on whether Lynx
understands the MIME type sent by the remote server or not. In
general, if you have a problem with a file displaying instead of
downloading, figure out it's MIME type as sent by the server, and make
the appropriate entry for that MIME type in your Lynx config. Note: I
haven't tried this yet, but this seems like the right direction to
start off in.
