There are 2 settings which control how mutt behaves with html mails.
Firstly, you need a line in ~/.mailcap (either of the following will do)
so mutt can determine how to render html.
text/html; w3m -T text/html -dump %s; copiousoutput
text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput
You're probably best using lynx
as with the -dump option it deactivates all the links in the page, but
gives you a list of them at the end. However, it doesn't render tables,
which w3m does (though w3m drops all the links)
After setting either of the above in ~/.mailcap, you need to put
auto_view text/html
in ~/.muttrc so that mutt will pass html to lynx or w3m for parsing and
display the result in the message pane.
