Hmmm, I don't have trouble. I use w3m, though, so maybe I can help.

What are these lines from? ~/.mailcap? ~/.muttrc? You're mixing the 
syntax for both, so it's hard to tell if you're doing that 
intentionally or if you just don't know that the commands belong in 
one file or the other.

> application/octet-stream; /home/jhelfman/.mutt/mutt.octet.filter %s;
> copiousoutput

You do NOT want this. What you probably want is to remove that line 
from your mailcap and add the following line to your muttrc:

     mime_lookup application/octet-stream

What that does is causes mutt to select a mime-type for attachments 
that are labeled as application/octet-stream based on their filename.

> text/x-vcard; /home/jhelfman/.mutt/mutt.vcard.filter %s; copiousoutput
> mime_lookup application/octet-stream

Wait, those are both lines in your mailcap file? Um, no, that 
mime_lookup line goes in your muttrc, not your mailcap. And the 
text/x-vcard line? That goes in your ~/.mailcap file, not your muttrc.

> text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -F -dump -T text/html %s; 
> nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput

Okay, finally, the ONLY line in your mailcap that applies to your 
situation. :)

Note that the nametemplate option you're specifying is redundant. It 
achieves the exact same thing that the '-T text/html' option achieves. 
Pick one or the other, you don't need both.

Here's what I use:

     text/html; w3m -T text/html; needsterminal
     test/html; w3m -I ${charset} -dump -T text/html; copiousoutput

Well, okay, my actual setup is slightly more complicated (because w3m 
refuses to understand that my terminal width is more important than 
the widths specified by tables in the email, and thus w3m's output can 
sometimes exceed 80 columns. I have to use a sed script to "sanitize" 
html). But that's the basic setup. I have yet to receive a message 
that I can't render.

> auto_view text/html

Um, no.

My guess is that you're getting weird problems because you have mutt 
commands in your mailcap (or you have mailcap commands in your 
muttrc).
