I've added the following during the pGnus days:

(add-to-list 'mm-inline-media-tests '("text/html" nil (lambda (h) nil)))
(add-to-list 'mm-discouraged-alternatives "text/html")
(add-to-list 'mm-discouraged-alternatives "text/richtext")
(add-to-list 'mm-discouraged-alternatives "text/enriched")
(setq mm-automatic-display (remove "text/html" mm-automatic-display))
(setq mm-automatic-display (remove "text/richtext" mm-automatic-display))
(setq mm-automatic-display (remove "text/enriched" mm-automatic-display))

It doesn't handle all possible, broken ways HTML can get to you but it
helps a bit.

(Improvements that doesn't involve W3 or similar are welcome.)
