Jean,
Thanks for this, too!
I see, so I have the default set to w3m and I use:
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html -dump; copiousoutput; print =
select-browser %s; nametemplate=%s.html
where select-browser is a perl script, perhaps from some members of this group.
So, I like w3m quite a bit but it appears that it may not show these hidden
links, at least in the way I have been using it.
I will try with the other options mentioned in this e-mail and the other ones.
Thank you very much again.

I know a solution that works well:
1) Make HTML attachments to be open with `elinks' browser; this is
good enough to open links in console mode; but then follow to open
up links with external browser;
In ~/.mailcap I have following:
text/html; elinks -force-html '%s';
2) Go into setup in `elinks' with `o' to options, "Document" then "URI
Passing" and then press `a' to add new option, you may name it like
"External" press `e' on that option and enter your favorite
browser, I have something like "iceweasel %c" -- which means if I
wish to open the link with external browser, I would use option
under menu "Link" -> "Pass link URI to external command";
3) To make it respond quickly on the key, go to "Setup" -> "Keybinding
manager" -> "Main mapping" -> "Pass link URI to external command"
and press ENTER, choose your keybinding, I have ";" for example;
4) When you wish to view HTML attachment, then you press enter in
attachment menu and `elinks' browser will open. You can read the
HTML document and browse with `elinks' the Internet. If you wish to
open the link in external browser, you press the key binding, in
this example it was ";"
