Well, then

 text/html;  /usr/bin/firefox %s >/dev/null 2>&1; needsterminal
 text/html;  elinks -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput

Or something like it. Needing or preferring a gui client doesn't seem
preclude using a mailcap file (or vice versa). 

I'm not a mutt user, though, so maybe I got it wrong. I also forgot what
the "this" was in the "that's why I do this" above.
