I used to use this script with mutt, before I switched to evo which
displays html well.  Eventually I switched to only showing images by
default from people in my addressbook, though, because some of the spam
was just way too obnoxious.  "links" supposedly does better with tables
than "lynx".  I'm not sure about w3m.

#!/bin/sh

# for mutt to view html e-mails

#where html2txt is a shell script that performs the conversion, e.g. by
#calling

links -html-numbered-links 1 -html-images 1 -dump "file://$@" 

#or
#
#lynx -force_html -dump "$@"
#
#or
#
#w3m -T text/html -F -dump "$@"
