I haven't either. The problem for me is not HTML email, it's following the URLs cited in text email and viewing them in a graphical browser such as Mozilla or Internet Explorer. I have used various workarounds -- at one extreme, switch to Mozilla and re-type the URL -- but this is really inefficient if the task is to click my way through, say, a blog bulletin from Red Rock Eater (with lots of URLs). It sounds like Gary Johnson's suggestion above (calling Mozilla from w3m) could do the trick, though I guess what I'd really like to do is hand the message off immediately to, say, the mailer in Netscape or Mozilla.
