Are you talking about emails in HTML format, and/or in both text and
HTML?

The default is to render them with shr, which does a pretty good job of
showing such formatting.

Do you have an example you can share?

Do you have any configuration set up to prefer text/ignore HTML?

E.g. I have:

  ;; Don't display html inline
  (setq
   mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext" "text/enriched")
   mm-automatic-display (remove "text/html" mm-automatic-display))

which is the opposite of what you want. At work I have configured Gnus
the other way around, i.e. to display text/html.

What is the value of mm-text-html-renderer in your setup?

,----[ C-h v mm-text-html-renderer RET ]
| mm-text-html-renderer is a variable defined in ‘mm-decode.el’.
| 
| Its value is ‘shr’
| 
|   You can customize this variable.

| Render of HTML contents.
| It is one of defined renderer types, or a rendering function.
| The defined renderer types are:
| ‘shr’: use the built-in Gnus HTML renderer;
| ‘gnus-w3m’: use Gnus renderer based on w3m;
| ‘w3m’: use emacs-w3m;
| ‘w3m-standalone’: use plain w3m;
| ‘links’: use links;
| ‘lynx’: use lynx;
| ‘html2text’: use html2text.

In my experience the default, shr, is preferable for HTML email.
