Wanderlust handles this well: it can be set to display the text/plain alternative if present, or render the html with w3m (optionally without fetching images to avoid `web bugs' in spam).
I also plays well with other Emacs packages (mailcrypt, supercite, bbdb) and is extremely customisable and well documented like most elisp packages. Only caveat is that said customisation can easily take a couple of weekends ;)
