An even better way to do it is with the following:
text/HTML; /usr/bin/X11/netscape -remote 'openFile(%s)' ||
/usr/bin/X11/netscape %s

This will make the viewer command work even if netscape isn't already
running.  Basically, you're saying "run netscape -remote OR run netscape".
If the remote command fails (netscape's not already running), then you'll
fire up a new one!  If netscape is already running, then you'll open the
html file in the running copy, and never try running a new netscape
process!  You could extend this even further with another OR statement,
which would run lynx if neither netscape command works.  That's really
useful if you're on a non-graphical session (i.e. logged in remotely).
