    Mutt works quite well for me for HTML mail.  In fact, I even have it
configured to view MS Word docs as text.  And when viewing HTML or MS
Word as text just doesn't suffice, I can easily view the HTML in
Netscape or the Word DOC in rdesktop (to a remote Win2K TS) with just
a couple keystroke.  I'm very happy with that configuration...
