Okay... what does your text/html mailcap entry look like?

It sounds like your mailcap erroneously hardcoded the location of
temporary html files as /tmp/mutt.html, which is not what mutt uses.

It's defined in your mailcap file, either in ~/.mailcap or
/etc/mailcap. See your mailcap man page.

The short answer is: because there isn't *supposed* to be.

You can't. It has to be fixed in your mailcap.
A correct mailcap entry should look something like this:
text/html; w3m -dump -T text/html %s; needsterminal; copiousoutput;
Note the "%s" instead of "/tmp/mutt.html". That's so that mutt can
tell w3m where the temporary file is. It is usually something with an
unpredictable name (if it was a predictable name, it would be a
security problem), and NOT /tmp/mutt.html.
