What would I need to do to add a command that would allow *me* to
choose to "farm it out to a GUI web browser" on a message-by-message
basis. 

Then I could first go the html->tex route and choose to launch an
external browser only if the html->text looks bad.

(I know that the 'vm-mime-external-content-types-alist' can be used to
always launch an external browser)
