I'm not a fan either.  However ...

   % grep lynx ~/.mailcap
   text/html; lynx -dump %s | sed 's/^   //' ; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html

Problem largely resolved.  (`mutt' is the rest of the solution.)

	No newlines.

	500 characters of setup to send me too.

	To find the me too you have to scan through pages of crap.

	Half the time the plain text is at the top anyway, so why bother with
the extra crap?
