I have been unclear. The security implications of the warning speak for themselves. Many good and configurable browsers let you turn off this warning. I have never seen this before in lynx/ssl and would like to disable it. I could go back to dev8 which does not do this, but I think that putting this warning in (which requires keystroke input! grrr...) makes the initial browser experience (more) unpleasant, especially when combined with INFO/ALERTSECS:3 defaults in lynx.cfg.
