Below are my settings. I put viewing the text file first, and access the
html manually when for some reason it doesn't display the text. Access
of the html part through `v` and then choose the html version. I use
lynx to view email. My settings are for use in both CLI (TTY, bare bone)
and GUI (xterm in a console window).

You could need an extra line in your mailcap to view emails made on an
iPhone, but I don't have that setting here at hand.

In your muttrc

# viewers defined in ~/.mutt/mailcap
set mailcap_path = ~/.mutt/mailcap
auto_view text/html
alternative_order text/plain text/html

In your mailcap

# HTML
text/html;                  lynx --force_html --dump %s; copiousoutput;              nametemplate=%s.html
text/*;                     view

Kind regards,
