Hi Eric -

Have you tried the following?

(require 'mime-w3m)

I also advise the following:

(eval-after-load "semi-setup"
  '(set-alist 'mime-view-type-subtype-score-alist '(text . html) 0))

This ensures that text/html contents are the least preferred of all
alternatives. You can then use C-c C-v C-c to toggle display of the
HTML alternative part if you desire.

best,
Erik
