LYNX-DEV reading *.html.gz files with Lynx ?

Hi, 

I use Lynx 2.6 extensively to browse software documentation on my Linux
box and find it a great tool (vs. man). Today I compressed with gzip
some html files and tried to view them with Lynx but I get an error
message:

"Error uncompressing temporary file.."

And then Lynx exits.

So it *seems* Lynx actually tries to read the file by first
uncompressing it to a temp file...

Has anybody had success reading .gz files with Lynx (like 'less'
transparently does).

Thanks.
