I haven't changed my mutt configuration, so it was probably
an intentional change of behaviour.
Anyway, now that I have read about the MIME chapter again,
I am in fact using auto_view for text/html with (.muttrc)
set implicit_autoview=no
auto_view text/html
alternative_order text/plain text/enriched
and (.mailcap)
text/html ; lynx -assume_charset=iso-8859-2 %s ; nametemplate=%s.html
text/html ; lynx -assume_charset=iso-8859-2 -dump -nolist -force_html %s ; \
nametemplate=%s.html ; copiousoutput

Yes; this is what I am using now.

Yes; your explanation is correct.
Thank you for your time
