Hey Derek,

Could you please elaborate a bit on what you're missing?

With `auto_view text/html` and adding 
[`~/.mutt/mailcap.htmldump`](https://git.madduck.net/etc/mutt.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/.mutt/mailcap.htmldump) 
to your `muttrc`'s `mailcap_path` setting, and then dropping 
[`~/.mutt/htmldump`](https://git.madduck.net/etc/mutt.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/.mutt/htmldump) 
in place, along with 
[`python-html2text`](https://pypi.org/project/html2text/), and you 
should get Markdown, more or less, which is precisely what it was 
designed for.
