That's a good question. HTML output does depend on what renderer is
used, but I think the test message is simple enough that they'll all
produce the same output. I believe mm prefers w3m.el, and falls back
to using an external w3m binary, and then emacs's built-in HTML
parsing (I'm significantly less sure whether the last part is true).

I've tried removing w3m and w3m.el from my system, and the test still
passes, so I think we're OK.
