How do I see the text/html version of an email?

Hello, mutt.
I'm using mutt 2.2.3 on Gentoo GNU/Linux.
Some considerate organisation has been sending me MIME mails with content
in a text/html section and a wholly blank text/plain version. What I see
in mutt is the blank text/plain. Who on Earth thought a blank text/plain
section was somehow a good idea?
Now I've finally worked out why they've been sending me blank emails,
I've temporarily amended my /etc/mutt/Muttrc, changing
alternative_order text/plain text text/html
to
alternative_order text/html text/plain text
..
However, in general I'd prefer to give priority to the text/plain
version. Is there any way I can do this in mutt without having
continually to edit my configuration every time a "blank" email comes
in?
What I would really like is a command in mutt which would switch between
displaying the various alternatives. I don't think there is one at the
moment, having perused the manual.
Can anybody offer me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
