mail - selecting text/html part of message |

Hello.
While reading (info "(mailutils) Command Syntax") I found that:
> A "message specifier" can be followed by "message part specifier",
> enclosed in a pair of brackets.
And from examples:
> 10[2]
> Part 2 of the multipart message 10.
I tries that with commands: print, pipe and save but It looks like that
always the whole message is used instead of selected part.
Example output from my terminal:
> ? struct 402
> 402.1 text/plain; charset=UTF-8 105
> 402.2 text/html; charset=UTF-8 30K
> ? save 402[1] test
> "/home/irek/test" 477/39689
> ? shell ls -lh test
> -rw------- 1 irek irek 39K Mar 23 21:35 test
> ?
By looking at the file size it's clear that whole message was saved.

Because I have noticed that output of "struct" command is a bit
different than example shown in info page I also tried other ways of
selecting message like 402.2 part but with no effect.
What am I doing wrong?
And BTW what I'm rly trying to achieve is to pipe text/html part of
message to some text based web browser so I can read that part. Maybe
someone have some suggestion how to do that?
