As reference for mutt users out there, a couple entries to your muttrc:
# show text/plain over text/html if both are available
alternative_order text/plain text/html text
# do auto_view for any mime type that has a "copiousoutput" entry in mailcap
set implicit_autoview=yes
And to your mailcap:
text/html; /usr/bin/htmlview %s ; copiousoutput
And you get inline html to plain text. Also handy is the ability to view
inline Word and PDF files:
application/msword; wvText %s /dev/stdout ; copiousoutput
application/pdf; pdftotext %s -; copiousoutput
And for the cool factor (provided you have a fairly good imagination
when it comes to ascii art).. images!
image/*; asciiview %s
