Cool, I've not been using the auto_view option :-)
You might also try w3m, it renders some pages better, but lynx has the
advantage of providing links in footnotes...
text/html; w3m -s -T text/html -dump -cols 95 '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html
text/html; w3m -s -T text/html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html
