If a MIME entity (either a sub-part of a multipart message or in this
case the entire body of the message) is not of a type that Mutt can
handle internally, but it's been told to autoview it then Mutt saves
the entity to a temporary file, runs the appropriate command on this
file and shows you the output. This temporary file is what lynx is
showing you in source form. To get lynx to correctly interpret the
file as HTML either add "nametemplate=%s.html" to your .mailcap entry
(as suggested below) or add the "-force_html" option to lynx.
HTH,
Mark.
