I would miss HTML formatted emails after a while.

A promising alternative is Muttator (http://www.vimperator.org/muttator).

Muttator is from the same team that made Vimperator, a Firefox add-on that changed the way I browse the web.

Muttils[1] makes it easier to deal with html email in mutt, and has a bunch of other goodies as well. I hit one keystroke and I'm looking at the html message in my web browser.
