But Windows doesn't have lynx. Are you using Cygwin lynx?

If line-endings are clobbered, that is an entirely different problem. You
should save the output of lynx in a file, visit it in Emacs using M-x
find-file-literally and see what text is there.

I don't understand how you are specifying options. The recommended method
for using lynx is to set `vm-mime-text/html-handler' to 'lynx and let VM
deal with all the rest. No lynx options need to be set by you.
