mutt can be configured to only show the text portion of a message that was
sent as a multipart/alternative. Look at `alternative_order' in the mutt
manual.
Here's an example from my ~/.muttrc:
,----
| # Some people think that HTML is good for email <sigh>
| alternative_order text/enriched text/plain text/html
`----
If you're ever in doubt about the "true" content of a message the easy way
to check is to view it in the raw. Piping it thru something like less will
allow this ("|less RET").
