I don't think mutt handles this, because it does not pretend to send email
in html format anyway.
Purists among us (myself included) might tell you to send all your email
in plain text anyway. I generally am much more likely to read email in
plain text only.
With commandline mutt you can probably hack something along the lines of
multipart/alternative, with an html and a plain text attachment, but you
will have to compose HTML mail outside of mutt anyway.
Maybe there is a patch for this, but the stock mutt probably doesn't
support it.
Mutt can be configured as to how to handle multipart/alternative email
though, see the manual (search for alternative_order) and you will find info on
alternative_order precedence.
