Have you tried PINE? It shows HTML mail much as Lynx
shows web pages. Any links given in the mail which are
clicked on can then be opened in any browser you want.
I have arachne set as my browser for PINE.
This does NOT show HTML e-mail in Arachne... only links
within e-mail that you "click" on. Is that what you're
after?
