I have seen messages like the one you mention. They are typically 
newsletters and such (anything composed with an e-mail client is 
unlikely to yield that, in my experience, or at least I can't recall if 
I have ever seen one of those).

What I do is to filter all newsletters to their proper folder, and then 
I have this in my muttrc:

auto_view text/html
folder-hook . 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/plain text/html'
folder-hook newsletters 'unalternative_order *; alternative_order text/html text/plain'

So my folder "newsletters" will see HTML before text, but for the rest 
of the folders, text comes first.

I don't know if this solution is OK for your current workflow / setup, 
but at least it's working quite well for me.

Cheers,
