You may want to check your auto_view settings, as well as verify that
your mailcap entries meet the requirements for auto_view. It _sounds_
to me almost as though you don't have a copiousoutput mailcap entry
for the MIME type (most likely text/html).

See http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#auto-view for details.

And unrelated, but you probably want to plan to upgrade that Debian
system as soon as practical; Debian 10 is out of even long term
support (it's now ELTS) since about a week, and Debian 11 stops
getting security updates very soon (Wikipedia puts end of security
support for Debian 11 at July 2024). Current stable is Debian 12.
