Not automated, but I use the following to toggle
alternative_order with a keystroke:

# toggle alternative_order
macro pager ,@aot= "\
<enter-command> unalternative_order *; \
alternative_order text/enriched text/plain text/html text 
application/postscript image/*; \
macro pager A ,@aoh= 'prefer html over text'<enter>\
<exit><display-message>"
#
macro pager ,@aoh= "\
<enter-command> unalternative_order *; \
alternative_order text/enriched text/html text/plain text 
application/postscript image/*; \
macro pager A ,@aot= 'prefer text over html'<enter>\
<exit><display-message>"
#
macro pager A ,@aoh= "prefer html over text"
