Yes, related IMHO. I'm not sure whether removing text/* from its Accept
header altogether would be a good idea; lynx should accept any type of text
and display it as-is. However, text/* needs to be given a q parameter which
is less than 1.
Yikes, I just checked the set of headers sent by lynx and it *is*
impressive! I'm not really sure why it needs to send stuff like
application/vnd.stardivision.impress explicitly when the header already has
a */* at the very end. IMHO a browser should only explicitly send the types
it can render itself. (Firefox doesn't even do that, it only sends enough
to express which types it _prefers_.)
Cheers,
Richard

For the record, Firefox sends this Accept header:
Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
lynx sends these multiple Accept headers:
