So, when you say coloured HTML mail, do you mean like this:

Hello, this word is red.
                     ^
                     |
                this word has red letters

Or:

Hello, this word is <font color="#ff0000"red</font>

[ie you could still see the HTML.]

If the former, something aside from lynx (w3m maybe) was being called by
you /etc/mailcap to do this.

If you take the lynx stuff out of your ~/.mailcap file, I presume the
coloured text comes back. what happens when you reply to the message?
