Here's the forms-options screen on my copies of Lynx:


                    Options Menu (Lynx Version 2.8.1pre.6)

One thing I noticed is that the settings in the "Editor", "Personal mail
address", "Personal mail address", "Preferred document character set",
"Preferred document language" and "User-Agent header" options don't appear
when printed. Probably the same thing happens with the "X Display" option,
but I don't have anything there.

I don't know under which conditions but it only appears in the
non-forms-options screen and I've always had it there.
