Sure, mutt can handle HTML-formatted email messages.

In ~/.mailcap, I have (among other things):

text/html; elinks -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html

In ~/.muttrc, I have:

auto_view text/html

Of course, this assumes you have elinks [0] installed.  You can
substitute your favorite text-mode web browser.
