I don't see it mentioned much, so : the download options and
mime capability of lynx in conjunction with the apc escape mechanism
of kermit allows lynx on a remote to download and view an item on a local pc
(jpg pdf mpg etc).
This turns lynx into a _fast text browser with graphics capabilities_ when
needed. I was once using sixel to do similar thing then the 16 color
graphics modes on my videocard broke. So I finally got around to
setting up tin,mutt,lynx on a unix account over a serial line to process
graphics on my local pc using the apc mechanism and found it
better than sixel (not that graphics emulations in mskermit don't
have their place).
