Bug Description

Binary package hint: mutt

Since upgrading to the current version of mutt, html email is now displayed as raw html instead of being processed as it was in 1.5.20.
When an email only contains a text/html portion, it is necessary to pipe it to lynx or another similar console based browser in order to have the mail displayed correctly.

In my case, I was relying on implicit_autoview, and that's borken in 1.5.21. Adding:
auto_view text/html
to my muttrc works around the issue.
