It looks like mha-mhedit tries to run the www/w3m browser to dump a
text-only version of the HTML document, and then quote this as the
original. Do you have the w3m port installed? If not, there is probably
an option to tell mha-mhedit to use another browser with similar
capabilities.
FWIW, I use a similar trick to let mutt(1) handle HTML-only messages posted
by Outlook users. In my ~/.mailcap file I have (all in one line):
text/html ; /usr/local/bin/elinks \
-dump -dump-charset greek '%s' ; copiousoutput
Maybe mha-mhedit can use a similar trick?
