in your $HOME/.mailcap, a line like this for instance:

text/html; lynx-cs -force_html -stdin

(there are several ways to do it)

i.e. 
text/html; w3m -dump -T text/html %s; copiousoutput

w3m for me is better for viewing tables.

how much email do you get that uses tables?

A lot, although very little that's not spam.

I don't look closely at it though.  Apparently a few people use it, both
mostly it uses people.

undoubtedly.  I don't have a lot of use for email which can't be edited with
a plain-text editor.  (I can format things with lynx+vile, but that doesn't
make it any better if I'm responding to something with pine on my his.com
account).

My setup is the following:

text/html;      links %s; nametemplate=%s.html
text/html;      links -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput

It allows me to view html email that contains tables in a neatly
dumped way in the pager. And when I 'v'iew the parts of the message,
links is actually started, and I can browse the html e-mail and
subsequent links.

This is for example handy with the newspaper service I'm subscribed
to: every day I receive an HTML e-mail with tables that lists the
major headlines of the 8 biggest newspapers in the Netherlands. From
there, I can click through to the whole articles.

My $0.02.
