For what purpose? If you need to turn it into useful text so that you 
can view it and reply to it, the best idea is going to be to add an 
html-renderer to your mailcap. If you just think it's untidy and don't 
want to store untidy email... mmm, perhaps pipe it to the `tidy` 
utility.

Presuming you need the former and not the latter, add this to your 
~/.mailcap file (each block should be entered as a single line):

     text/html; elinks -dump -force-html %s; needsterminal; 
     copiousoutput; test=type -P elinks > /dev/null

     text/html; links -dump -force-html %s; needsterminal; 
     copiousoutput; test=type -P links > /dev/null

     text/html; lynx -dump -force-html %s; needsterminal; 
     copiousoutput; test=type -P lynx > /dev/null

Then, of course, install one of those programs (if they're all in your 
mailcap file, it doesn't matter which one you install).

Then, add the following to your muttrc:

     auto_view text/html

That should do it for you.

Oh, you also may want to add this to your muttrc:

     alternative_order text/html text/plain
