Possibly Lynx 2.6 is engaging in less-than-gracefull degradation
on receipt of an incorrect header.  I believe per RFC 822 the
semicolon doesn't belong there unless a name=value parameter
definition is to follow.  There is no parameter in this case.
The null parameter-spec could be breaking the recognition of the
whole header field.

I never found a full URL to your page to try it with 2.7.
