I think that is supposed to be the default, looking at this variable:

,----[ C-h v mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp RET ]
| mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp is a variable defined in ‘mm-decode.el’.
| Its value is "\\`cid:"
| 
| Documentation:
| Regexp matching URLs which are considered to be safe.
| Some HTML mails might contain a nasty trick used by spammers, using
| the <img> tag which is far more evil than the [Click Here!] button.

| set this variable to nil if you consider all urls to be safe.

I think shr renders HTML better, but it probably various a lot with the
emails.


Oh, I have also set mm-automatic-display to (remove "text/html"
mm-automatic-display) :-)


  Best regards.
