Mutt is probably safe as not rendering HTML, but this isn't clear...
And piping a decrypted mail to a browser (e.g. if there is no
text/plain part, and an attacker can ensure that) is not safe.

Does it handle the GPG warning in a special way? The display of the
warning only is not sufficient since it can easily remain unnoticed
by the user.
