With the correct entry in .mailcap, C-u 42 K e should indeed do the
right thing.

But my suggestion was to include a configuration option such that (a)
buttons for text/html parts appear automatically, and (2) hitting RET
or mouse-2 on such a button invokes whatever is in .mailcap.

Implementing this is quite simple, I think, though I haven't tested
it.  Right now, there is the following entry in mailcap-mime-data:

/----
|      ("html"
|       (viewer . mm-w3-prepare-buffer)
|       (test   . (fboundp 'w3-prepare-buffer))
|       (type   . "text/html"))
\----

Now we introduce a new variable and say (test . (and foo (fboundp
'w3-prepare-buffer))) in the third line above.

What do you think?
