Sorry i understand preview as seeing the sourcecode of the file. 
May be better using another command as: 

w3m-find-file your_html_file ==> bind it to some keys

Extview use ~/.mailcap to manage your file extensions, so if you modify
your ~/.mailcap, all the .html will be open in w3m.
It's may be not what you want.

Extview , when you press enter while in dired, ask you if you want to
open the file in an external viewer or not.

Here is how to configure extview:(my config)

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/extview")
(load "extview.elc")
(push '("\\.py$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.sh$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.py~$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.sh~$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.html$" . ask) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.jpeg$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.jpg$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.png$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.gif$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.tiff$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.ogg$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.mp3$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.wav$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.m3u$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.tcl$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.pls$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.tex$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.ps$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.css$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.xml$" . ask) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.ps$" . ask) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.*~$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.*.~*~$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.h$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.d$" . nil) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.dat$" . nil) extview-application-associations)

Here is my ~/.mailcap:(where extview read)

image/jpeg; showpicture -viewer display %s
image/*; showpicture -viewer display %s
text/html; firefox %s
application/xml; firefox %s
text/xml; firefox %s
text/plain ; $EDITOR %s
text/* ; $EDITOR %s
chemical/x-mopac-input ; $EDITOR %s
application/pdf; evince %s
application/dvi; evince %s
application/ogg ; ogg123 %s
audio/x-wav ; aplay %s
audio/mpeg ; mpg321 %s
audio/*; showaudio %s
video/x-msvideo; mplayer %s
video/quicktime; mplayer %s
application/postscript; gv %s

showpicture, showaudio... is in the metamail package.
