I'm sorry, but I didn't check your trace file (presently I only have mailx and no utilities to decode base64, if only you had used uuencode ... :-) but I probably still wouldn't have understood it. As I understand it, using Refresh 0 is bad, but I suppose using 1 and above instead of 0 isn't bad, so at least for those I would be happy if Lynx would automatically redirect. Or is that a problem for some reason? The only thing I use it for is, if I want an easy way to tell a browser not to use this or that static file, but instead some other file, that is very often a dynamically generated file. And very often it is mostly because I like to start on as low a barrier as possible, even if it is considered a hack. Eventually things get corrected, but first things first. I always test a lot and on as many browsers as possible because I realize they all have their little quirks. Until now I haven't been able to include Lynx in my test-suite, even though I have today learned that technically _I_ was wrong, I just didn't know:-) and now it seems like I will soon be able to tell endusers of my software that it has _also_ been tested with Lynx, one of the oldest browsers on the market!
