Well, this is the macro I currently use:

    macro attach B "<pipe-message>cat > /tmp/mutt.html; chromium 
/tmp/mutt.html<enter>"

That obviously has a race condition, but in practise it's not an issue.

The one thing that annoys me is that I have to go into the attach menu
to select the HTML part to do this. If I pipe from the pager, I might
end up piping the text/plain part (which, in one particular case, says
"You need HTML to view this message" -- what the?!).
