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.
