It depends what your definition of view is. I have this in .muttrc

,----[ .muttrc ]
| # view html mails as text
| set implicit_autoview
|
| # prefer text over html
| alternative_order text/plain text/html
`----

With this the html is rendered to text inside the mutt pager. You also 
need some program installed to process the html. I have lynx and links2 
installed, but don't know which one is used.
