Re: Lynx - stop viewing binary files as text
OMG, youre a savior :)
Ive been trying to dink with this for a few weeks now,
repeatedly askin about it in linux channels on irc,
and everyone is like man lynx, and i knew it wasnt
something with that.. Heres the line in /etc/mailcap
that was causing the error
application/*; less '%s'; needsterminal
Once again thanks for the great help :)
