I don't believe that mutt knows *how* to original HTML emails.

Larry needs to understand, if he doesn't already, that HTML email *must*
be MIME multipart/alternative with a text/plain and a text/HTML part, and
*should* have some useful content in the text/plain part to avoid pissing
off recipients who cannot (or like me, choose not to) read HTML email.

(There are good security reasons not to read HTML email...)
