Some considerate organisation has been sending me MIME mails with

What I see in mutt is the blank text/plain. Who on Earth thought a
blank text/plain section was somehow a good idea?
I've seen a worse version of this: the text version and the html version
are completely different.
On my side, I have this:
auto_view text/html
folder-hook . 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/plain text/html'
folder-hook boletines 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/html
text/plain'
So normally I look at the plain-text version, except in my folder
"boletines" (Spanish for "newsletters"), where I default to HTML.
In those cases where I'm in another folder and I need to look at the
HTML content, I use this macro:
macro index,pager ,b "<view-attachments>/html<enter><view-mailcap><exit>" "View
first HTML attachment in browser"
This opens the first available HTML attachmend (typically the message
body) in my browser of choice (set up via ~/.mailcap).
