Is there any way to view text/html inline *only if* we think text/plain is not right?

That works (I have to remove a "bind attach <Return> view-mailcap" I 
have in my .muttrc), but opens the view outside of the pager. Would 
there be a way to have that inside the pager, as one would normally get 
when prioritizing text/html in alternative_order?

A member of the list provided a macro to open the first HTML attachment 
on Firefox and I've been using it for a while.

macro index,pager ,b "<view-attachments>/html<enter><view-mailcap><exit>" "View first HTML attachment in browser"

I guess something similar could be done here.

Cheers!
