If you Google "pipe to browser," you'll find various tools that will
do this for you. I use one on the Mac called simply "browser," but
there are others. Then in mutt you could simply view the list of parts
('v' command) and pipe the html ('|' command) to one of those.
I think these mostly just do what you're doing ... save the html to a
temp file and open that in the default browser.
