You're going to too much work, and I would imagine that the results
don't look very good. To fix HTML e-mail, just put this in your mailcap
file:
text/html; w3m -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput
and this in your muttrc:
auto_view text/html
The HTML content of messages will be nicely formatted when you read them
as well as when you reply to them. (I prefer w3m, but lynx would work
as well.)
