A few lines from my ~/.muttrc to deal with HTML email. Goals:
- Identify HTML mail up front.
- Don't render HTML by default.
- Provide means to peek at the HTML content if absolutely necessary.
Note that my preferred route is to delete such posts, occasionally
posting a rant to the sender on the use of HTML mail:

Anyway, the muttrc settings:
# File formats
auto_view application/msword
auto_view text/html
#...and preferred order:
alternative_order text/plain text/html
# Highlight HTML-encoded messages:
color index yellow black '~h "^Content-Type: text/html$"
I've set my various color settings to always provide a black background.
Normal index messages appear as bolded white, so HTML looks vaguely
pissed upon...appropriate, somehow ;-)
Peace.
