And, it should have a -dump option.

Ubuntu works fine - it has multiple text/html lines, one with
copiousoutput (that is used by mutt), an it has -dump option.
text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -dump -T text/html '%s'; copiousoutput;
description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html

So, the fix for Fedora is to manually create a ~/.mailcap, and put in it:
text/html; /usr/bin/links -dump %s ; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput
(if using links, change for w3m as appropriate, etc).

Would be nice if this automatically worked in Fedora with mutt,
instead of a manual fix.
