I'll see your html and raise you a pdf and an msword:
text/html; /usr/bin/links %s ; copiousoutput
application/pdf; pdftotext %s - ; copiousoutput
application/msword; antiword %s ; copiousoutput
And when all else fails, mutt.octet.filter.pl will try to figure out
what the attachment really is and display it inline.
application/octet-stream; mutt.octet.filter.pl %s; copiousoutput
(This is my set-up for work, where people send all sorts of silly
files in email.)
