Subject: lynx interprets text/sgml as html (and makes a mess of it)
Date: Thu, 31 May 2001 20:12:14 +0200
Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.3-1.4
Severity: normal

eg. http://www.kis.p.lodz.pl/%7Esektor/cbx.sgml
Content-Type: text/sgml
starts with:
<!-- vim:ts=4:nojs
-->
<!doctype linuxdoc system>

It looks especially weird in strict error recovery mode,
but in any mode why doesn't it display the data like text/plain
if it's not text/html.

Changes: 
 lynx (2.8.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Hijack the package.  I might not be great at it, but I do use it daily.
   * New upstream release.
     Closes: #254515, #137480, #67184, #99400, #132674, #141158, #40435,
     #120451, #157088, #204994, #244871, #248092, #268264, #271048, #318034,

     #121520, #152810, #188415, #344275, #374388, #184482, #315853
   * Uses the new upstream defaults. Closes: #325478, #147287.
   * Update 01_default-config.dpatch. (Offset changes only.)
   * Update 02_default-key-bindings.dpatch. (Upstream formatting changes.)
   * Kill 03_newer_gnutls.dpatch entirely.
     This was fixed upstream.  But this is also a GPL violation as we only ship
     the patch to configure, and not to configure.in, the source file.
   * Kill 04_CVE-2004-1617.dpatch. (Merged into upstream.)
   * Disable 05_FTBFS_on_GNUHurd_and_GNUkBSD (Upstream changes, file new bug if
     we FTBFS again.)
   * Removed configure arguments:
     --enable-8bit-toupper - Removed, no longer exists.
     --enable-persistent-cookies - Enabled by default.
     --enable-prettysrc - Enabled by default.
     --enable-source-cache - Enabled by default.
     --enable-read-eta - Enabled by default.
   * Added configure arguments:
     --enable-nsl-fork - fork NSL requests, allowing them to be aborted
     --enable-justify-elts - use element-justification logic
   * Update the contents and location of lynx.desktop. Closes: 304989.
   * Other things will be handled by later uploads, patches welcome.
