In my .mailcap I have the following:
text/html; html2text '%s'; copiousoutput

It should also work with lynx (the cat) with the -dump and -force-html
options. I prefer html2text because I don't want the bracketed numbers
throughout email. I am not certain that for this purpose copiousoutput
is necessary, but it works here. Good luck.
