I already use mime-w3m.  It's not that I can't get it to display the
HTML part, but that it's a lot of keystrokes from here to there: `j
TAB TAB C-c C-t C-c'

It would be great if there were some hooks I could use to recognize
messages like this where I want the HTML part displayed by default.

A side question about mime-w3m: when I use w3m.el for browsing, I can
TAB to a link and hit return and it will follow the link.  Not so when
displaying the HTML part of an email.  Why not?  It's especially
ironic since my WL *will* follow links that way in the plain text part
of the email.
