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

I use this macro:

macro pager ~ '<enter-command>unalternative_order *<ENTER><enter-command>alternative_order text/html text/enriched text/plain<ENTER><exit><display-message>'

to switch to HTML and this:

macro pager '`' '<enter-command>unalternative_order *<ENTER><enter-command>alternative_order text/plain text/enriched text/html<ENTER><exit><display-message>'

to switch to text.

I use this:

macro pager,index,attach M '<enter-command>set pipe_decode=no<ENTER><pipe-message>viewhtmlmsg<ENTER><enter-command>set pipe_decode=yes<ENTER>' "view message in graphical browser"

using https://github.com/lilydjwg/viewhtmlmsg
