Often adding "MSIE5" to the User-Agent, or prepending
"Mozilla/5.0 (compatible); " to it will also help.

This avoids not sending the Lynx identifier, while
fooling most “evil” webservers (that restrict based
on the User-Agent) into serving one.

Netcologne’s web presence is one of these, too…

Not sending any User-Agent, especially permanently, is not good.
Consider making you a shell alias, like this:

alias lynxmoz="lynx -useragent='Mozilla/5.0 (compatible); Lynx/2.8.8pre.5 
libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 GNUTLS/2.12.23' "

(This value for Lynx in Debian unstable.)

other people provide on the Debian mailing lists │ sole reason I subscribed to
them (I'm not using Debian anywhere) is the entertainment factor │ Debian does
not strike me as a place for good humour, much less German admin-style humour
