Package: pstotext Version: 1.8g-5 Severity: minor Tags: patch Lynx does currently not honor the copiousoutput flag in /etc/mailcap.
See http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month042000/msg00531.html for the only evidence I could find about why it doesn't work. The message implies that it will not get fixed very soon. Since it appears a quite correct test can be made to detect pstotext usage under Lynx, I've attached a patch against debian/mime. Tested, and works fine.
