The server is checking the user-agent. Changing it to Mozilla for

And the double fault (missing custom page) is just plain incompetence,
although very common incompetence.
Incidentally, people should use subjects like "Lynx Rejected 406 Not
Acceptable; Mozilla Succeeds", rather than "Help" or "BUG Report", when
submitting presumed bug reports to lists and forums. They also
shouldn't accuse software of bugs when they clearly know that the the
fault lies in the web server.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
