I guess that it was a multipart/alternative post where each of the
body parts (in this case of types text/plain and text/html) is an
alternative version of the same information.
Mutt will only show you one of the parts of a multipart/alternative
message (see section 5.5 in the manual about which one), but you can
see them all from the attachment menu (press 'v' in the pager to get
there).
