Never mind, I found the answer right after I posted the question.  I just
had to rtflynx.cfg.  If there is anybody else with the same problem, these
are the solutions:

1) in lynx.cfg, set the variable GLOBAL_EXTENSION_MAP so that it points to
   an extension map file.  In this file, erase or comment out any line that
   assign an extension to application/x-Tex, and add `tex' to the extension
   map for text/plain.  A sample extension file is samples/mime.types.

or

2) Do the same for the PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP.  You can simply copy
   samples/mime.types to ~/.mime.types, eddit the file as described in 1)
   and uncomment the line for PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP in lynx.cfg.

or

3) In lynx.cfg,  add a line SUFFIX:.tex:text/plain
