You can do this if you use autoview for the text mode, something like
this:
text/html; mozilla.sh %s; test=InXTerm
text/html; lynx -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput
Then when you open an html email, it'll be dumped to ascii and will be
viewable in the normal pager, but if you hit 'v' or 'l' or whatever it
is (I have a fairly heavily customised keyboard layout -- I use the vim
keys for most things, so I can't remember what the proper key is) to get
the attachments view up and load the html from there, it'll open in
mozilla.
Hope that helps,
