I startet migrating from Thunderbird to Mutt a year or two ago and it
took me a lot of searching through the interwebs re HTML.
Now I use www-client/w3m to represent HTML inline, anything fancy I open in
my main-browser. The mail is saved in a temporary directory. Pressing
'v', highlighting the 'text/html'-line an pressing 'm' does the trick.

 From my .mutt/mailcap:
text/html; mkdir -p /tmp/mutt \; cp %s /tmp/mutt \; librewolf /tmp/mutt/$(basename %s) &;

text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;


Kind regards,
Carsten
