OK, personally I hate HTML e-mail (specially those which are the 
duplicated of the main plain text body, and in fact have procmail filters 
which strip the out [saving a backup just in case :-)], but there are at 
least two cases in which I need to view them (one is a newsletter sent as 
Attach0.html, and the other one is a page asking monthly renewal of a free 
subscription).

Now here is what I do, which is actuallyu a bit contrived because of my 
arrangement (I usually work from home, running ssh into the work machine 
where alpine runs).

- I do V to view the attachment index
- I select the HTML attachment
- I do S to save it a local disk on the work machine, in a location
   I choose  (~lucio/temp/TransferArea)

- on my home machine in the browser I can access the transfer area
   via http  and access the saved html page

(of course if I am at work, I get the page displayed in the local browser 
with a single click)
