I have the following three lines in my ~/.muttrc:
set mailcap_path="~/.mutt_mailcap"
alternative_order text/plain text/html
auto_view text/html
and these two lines in my ~/.mutt_mailcap:
text/html; /usr/bin/links '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text;
nametemplate=%s.html
text/html; /usr/bin/links -dump '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text;
nametemplate=%s.html
This works very well, using links to display a formatted text-version
for html-only emails. (My boss sends me such emails, therefore I have to
accommodate them...)

Ooh, a flamewar! Can I play, too? Here's some more gasoline: Don't you
think it's incredible that, given the choice of several excellent
editors, some people still insist on messing around with a bloated
common-lisp runtime engine?
