and this seems to be the issue.
Shellworld lynx 2.9.0dev.5
Has this as text/plain, not html.
Older copies of lynx here, and  the other shell example I can check  read

Ian you indicate that this cannot be saved on the options menu, meaning it 
must  be corrected  where ever the compile or main lynx.cfg is stored?

Thanks,
