One way is to use a browser such as w3m to view the message by
piping the entire message from the index or pager menus or by piping
just the body of the message from the attachment menu to the
browser.  W3m allows you to toggle between the rendered-HTML and
HTML-source views of the message with the 'v' command.  You could
also pipe the message to 'w3m -T text/html' to force w3m to treat
the text as HTML.

HTH,
