I tried but it doesn't not work. I read the mutt documentation and
tried also:
text/html;      firefox -remote 'openURL(%s)' ; test=RunningX

But it does not work. I get the following error message:
mailcap entry for type text/html not found 

I don't get if I use command-line program like lynx.
Maybe it's a problem with the display variable? I'll keep looking.
