What mail user agent are you using? Are you actually seeing the HTML
tags in the buffer, because if so, that would be most passing strange.

A lot of times, what you want when dealing with HTML email is to be able
to click on a link and have it rendered in Firefox. In gnus, at least,
you can tab around the buffer to find your link and hit enter to click
on it. But by default that'll bring up the linked page in the built-in
web browser. To use Firefox or Chrome instead, add this to ~/.emacs:

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-firefox)

Hope that helps,
