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

I think you can setup two ways of handling an attachment, one for "viewing"
and one for "printing". You can make the "view" command treat it as text/plain
and make the "print" command treat it as text/html, but I don't remember the
details on how to do this. Does anyone else remember?
