Thanks. I knew about less' input preprocessor but had never tried it. I
added some other "cases" to the script:
*.lzh|*.lha) lha v $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.arc|*.ark) arc v $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.rar) rar l $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.doc) catdoc -m78 $1 2>/dev/null ;;
And changed some others to fit my system:
*.tar) tar tvf $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.t[ag]z|*.tar.gz|*.tar.[zZ]) tar tzvf $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.tar.bz2) tar tyvf $1 2>/dev/null ;;
*.zip) unzip -v $1 2>/dev/null ;;

Since lynx already handles the .gz extension by itself, try replacing the two
VIEWERs above with just
VIEWER:application/x-tar:less %s:NON_XWINDOWS
I prefer to define all those "viewers" in .mailcap instead of .lynx.cfg. For
tar files I use
application/x-tar; tar -tvf %s | $PAGER
With less' input preprocessor I could use
application/x-tar; less %s
