Yes:

  [ Viewer Preferences ]
            [X]  enable-msg-view-attachments
            [X]  enable-msg-view-urls
            [X]  enable-msg-view-web-hostnames
            [X]  enable-msg-view-addresses
            [ ]  enable-msg-view-forced-arrows
            [ ]  prefer-plain-text

The prefer-plain-text option is what you want.

Correct, but only if there's text and not html. In another words, you can
have html displayed if there's no plain text attachment. I think in
general the answer to the original question is no, although I think it
should be configurable.

Always run with full headers? That shows the source.

Interesting alternative, it works when the body of the message is in HTML.
When it is the attachment, things change a little bit, and in order to see
the html code directly you have to pipe it to "cat".

Pine 4.21 here. Having full headers on, I can '>' to the attachments
list, see the (presumably multipart/alternative) text and HTML
attachments, '>' to the HTML one, and see the source.

Perhaps 4.21 is calling cat? I didn't tell it to do that.
