It's not much of a script, I call it 'view-html'

#!/bin/sh
dir=`mktemp -d`
trap "rm -r $dir" 0
cat "$@" > "$dir"/msg
if munpack -C "$dir" -t < "$dir"/msg 2>&1 | grep 'Did not find'; then
    sed -n '/[Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll]/,$p' "$dir"/msg > $dir/part1.html
    rm "$dir"/msg
fi
for i in "$dir"/part*; do
    if grep -q -i -e '<html>' -e 'text/html' "$i"; then
	iceweasel "$i" &
	sleep 3
	exit 0
    fi
done

Note that if iceweasel isn't already running, it seems to shut down when
the script exits. I don't know why.
