Here's a magic incantation that displays a text version of the email,
which, of course, is even better than switching to an external
browser.  This may be coming from html2text:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
mm-text-html-renderer is a variable defined in `mm-decode.el'.
Its value is html2text
----------------------------------------------------------------------

auto-show-mime is from this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

(eval-after-load "mm-decode"
 '(progn 
      (add-to-list 'mm-discouraged-alternatives "text/html")
      (add-to-list 'mm-discouraged-alternatives "text/richtext")))

(load-library "auto-show-mime")
