This is pretty much a limitation of Mutt's batch mode.

Somehow I doubt this can be done, but some of Mutt's users are pretty
clever...
One way to do this would be to send the wget output to a file, then
attach that file in batch mode, using the -a switch to Mutt. But your
message will still need a text/plain part to make up the main body, to
which the HTML will be attached.
A tool which is better-suited to your particular task, is mpack. You
might want to give it a try. Mutt isn't *always* the answer to your
E-mail needs, you know. :)
