I think sup always tries to display HTML inline but without the mime-decode.rb hook it will fail(just a guess). Despite the error the
mailcap entry for firefox(assuming you have firefox, if not substitute for sensible-browser) should open.

All mime-decode does is make use of w3m to display the html encoding inline. So you'll need the w3m package for that to work.
