Hm.  The definition of `mm-text-html-renderer' is:

(defcustom mm-text-html-renderer
  (cond ((and (executable-find "w3m")
	      (executable-find "curl"))
	 'gnus-article-html)
	((executable-find "links") 'links)
	((executable-find "lynx") 'lynx)
	((locate-library "w3") 'w3)
	((locate-library "html2text") 'html2text)
	(t nil))

So does that mean that you don't have curl?  I thought everybody had
curl installed.  :-)

Anyway, if html2text was the definition, then it should have done a
better job of rendering the HTML than it did.  html2text is very
simple -- it just strips tags away (basically), but you saw raw HTML,
which must mean that html2text doesn't work at all for you.

Which is puzzling, too.
