LYNX-DEV Long lines split on saving to disk

Lynx version:   2.7.1f
Platform:       IRIX64 helix 6.2 03131016 IP19

I've encountered what appears to be a bug in lynx's behavior when saving
to a file.  When saving to disk a text file with long lines, e.g. 
http://www.best.com/~ariel/nospam/splite.rc, the saved image has its
lines split after each 79 characters.  Since the example file contains
procmail code with regular expressions, the longest of which is 633
characters, the regexp's end up badly broken. 

Saving via (*sigh*) Netscape instead gives an image without these line
breaks, so I'm sure it's not the server's fault (and the file author
confirms this).

I'm using 'p' followed by "Save to a local file" to capture the file. 
Is there a better lynx alternative than manually editing the saved
image? 

Thanks,
