+   <dt>Preferred Encoding
+        <dd>When doing a GET, lynx tells what types of compressed data it can
+            decompress (the "Accept-Encoding:" string).  This is determined by
+            compiled-in support for decompression or external decompression
+            programs.  Use this option to select none, one or all of the
+            supported decompression types.

+   <dt>Preferred Media Type
+        <dd>When doing a GET, lynx lists the MIME types which it knows how
+            to present (the "Accept:" string).  Depending on your system
+            configuration, the mime.types or other data given by the
+            GLOBAL_EXTENSION_MAP may include many entries that lynx really does
+            not handle.  Use this option to select one of the built-in subsets
+            of the MIME types that lynx could list in the Accept.
