Yessir. This bug has been around for a long time and I'm under the
impression that I reported it.

lynx 2.8.2rel.1 on FreeBSD 4.0/i386 with the native (ancient) ncurses.

On the other hand, lynx 2.8rel.2 on Debian 2.0/i386 and 2.8.1rel.2
on Red Hat 6.0/alpha are not affected.

Tracing lynx simply confirms that no highlighting codes are sent.
This also affects underlining (EM, STRONG, B, I, etc.).
