I started using Mutt and the only issue I am having is that when I receive an email from an Outlook account, I get a bunch of headers and all of the HTML. It is very hard to read. what I want to do is be able to read these properly and also have the ability to send my email as HTML. What setup do I have to have in order for this to happen?
