I would think that it depends on your mail client. I user mutt and my 
.mailcap has lines like this;
text/html;      lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html

which translate html to text. I don't even notice that html code has been
sent to me. 

I imagine you could just as simply pipe your html mail through
"lynx -dump" if you wanted to read it from another client.
