 I agree - and I see one way people can make use of it: defining LYNX in
/etc/apache2/envvars like e.g.:

#v+
export LYNX="netrik --dump"
#v-

 That should work from reading the source and fix the issue for
everyone.

 Do you think you could add that either as a comment into the envvars
file that this is possible, or put it into some other docs? That could
then be assumed as a fix for this bug. :)

 Thanks in advance!
