many thanx for your extraordinarily detailed yet clear account.
it deserves to go into a FAQ or archive somewhere:
maybe i should start one alongside Lynx Help For Beginners.
as someone who grew up back in the days of printed paper books
-- some of them in Ancient Greek, it is true -- ,
i've been rather slow to climb onto the multimedia bandwagon
& so have missed out on the things MIME types do for people
(they get mentioned regularly on lynx-dev, of course).
