Put this in ~/.mailcap:
text/html; links %s

and this:
set mailcap_path = ~/.mailcap

in your ~/.muttrc. That will let you view html with mutt. Then do
this:

cat /path/to/html-manpage | mail -F [username] -s manpage

Then you should have new a mail with html-content. Start mutt and you can
read it. :-)
