vanilla mutt doesn't automatically "view" text/html MIME parts (or any others). This is partly for the sake of security. If you want this to happen, you can (on your own risk, of course) add an auto_view command to your .muttrc. See the reference manual for details on syntax. Also see the thread "Forcing viewing HTML for certain senders" somewhere in the recent archive of the list. -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
