Mutt saves to a temp file then calls the following command:
lynx -localhost -dump %s
where '%s' is the temporary file you saved it to.
You could also just pipe it to the following:
lynx -localhost -dump -stdin
the -localhost argument prevents lynx from simply following links
external to your machine - helpful to avoid generating hits for
unscrupulous spammers that get paid for hits on a URL.
Just make sure lynx is installed.
