This problem has been solved in the most anti-climatic way. After checking
that I had indeed mime-support installed as someone else wondered, and
setting set implicit_autoview = yes, I was able to read html mails as text
(autoview used html2text). I also tried adding an entry in ~/.mailcap for
lynx to handle html files, and it worked, but I don't like lynx really, so I
deleted that line, and commented the 'implicit_autoview' line in .muttrc.
When I tried again... mozilla successfully opened the file /tmp/muttrc and I
could read the mail! The only obvious difference is that this morning a
file /tmp/muttrc<some-numbers-and-letters> was looked for and not found, but
since I only did marginal changes to .muttrc and .mailcap, I don't
understand how things got fixed.
Thanks for all the comments; I learned a few things.
