My setup was slightly different than what Michael had suggested: 

I run FreeBSD, and didn't have a /etc/mailcap...I did, however, have a
~/.mailcap, so I put this entry in it:
text/html;/usr/local/bin/links -dump %s;copiousoutput

My version of links only recognized the "-dump" flag, not the "--dump" flag.

Did you have anything else at the top of the message giving any kind of
error?

After a time, you may find that "having" is not so pleasing a thing, after 
all, as "wanting." It is not logical, but it is often true.
