The development code from <http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/current/> has this:

1997-08-09
* Changed the code of 1997-08-06 which modifies suggested filenames for a
  'D'ownload to be more cautious: don't remove a '.gz', '.Z' etc. suffix
  if there is no header indication that we have a compressed file.  Not
  all servers and gateways (including the internal FTP gateawy) detect
  and label compressed content reliably. - KW

in addition to:

1997-08-06
* Modified HTMIME.c and LYCharUtils.c so that setting of suggested filenames
  via a filename=value pair in Content-Disposition headers and META elements
  is not restricted to the file disposition type. - FM
* Mods in GridText.c, LYGetFile.c and HTAnchor.c so that suggested filenames
  will have appropriate suffixes when 'd'ownloading, based on whether or not
  the file is gzipped or Unix compressed. - FM

while the fotemods code has only the latter.
