Indeed...  I don't want HTML mail, I want plain text, therefore I use
the following in my .gnus:

;; No HTML mail
(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext"))
;; my lynx cannot handle the -stdin option, use true w3m (not w3m
;; mode!) instead
(require 'mm-view)
(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'true-w3m)
(add-to-list 'mm-text-html-renderer-alist
	     '(true-w3m mm-inline-render-with-stdin
			nil "w3m" "-T" "text/html"))
(add-to-list 'mm-text-html-washer-alist
	     '(true-w3m mm-inline-wash-with-stdin
			nil "w3m" "-T" "text/html"))

Would it be possible to just print the URL in the text part, too?

Cool!  I guess I'll just wait, then.
