A (hopefully) clear answer to a silly question that tripped me up:
To avoid having to download a file such as a GIF twice (once to view it
and once to save it), DO NOT add the file type to your viewers (mailcap).
Instead, go into lynx.cfg and make a DOWNLOADER: line for it. This allows
you to view and/or save the file plus you also get a chance to cancel in
the beginning rather than having to Zap it if you made a mistake.
I was so focused on mailcap being the helper app config that I had no idea
the downloader could do it as well.
