I get the below which to me seems to comply with what you suggested.

mm-text-html-renderer is a variable defined in `mm-decode.el'.
Its value is nil


Documentation:
Render of HTML contents.
It is one of defined renderer types, or a rendering function.
The defined renderer types are:
`w3'   : use Emacs/W3;
`w3m'  : use emacs-w3m;
`w3m-standalone': use w3m;
`links': use links;
`lynx' : use lynx;
`html2text' : use html2text;
nil    : use external viewer.

You can customize this variable.
