Wow, this one is really a hard decision. As much as I want to "do the right thing", and have it be truthful, I probably lean towards this being the default. Or maybe for new lynx users (*are* there any new lynx users anymore or is it all us fogies?), make them read a README the first time they launch it that lists an "if you hae problems" list, one of them being the user agent hack. >Most other browsers like MSIE or Konqueror have moved this way to work >better with some servers. I think iCab (the Mac alternate GUI browser that I use the vast majority of the time when I use a GUI browser) defaults to its own useragent. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
