yeah this is a bit annoying.  i also find this bit helpful:
alternative_order text/plain text/enriched text/html

(in your .muttrc).... this will at least use a text version if both are
given (ie it will prefer the plaintext version over the html version).

i also find w3m a tiny bit nicer than lynx... but my favorite method for
dealing with this sort is to (politely or not depending on how well you
know them) ask them _not_ to send html mail in the first place.

this isn't always effective of course (with the brain dead and
unrepentant sorts) but it's worked a time or two (and has the benefit of
saving other people the same agony you are forced to go through).
