This is currently unimplemented in GNUstep (ie., NSWorkspace: 
-openURL:). I developed a patch many months ago that was adding this 
functionality but I never commited it nor finished the discussion I 
had with Nicola wrt it.

In the meantime, you can select the URL and use the "Open URL" 
service. You can get this service from here:

cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnustep co 
gnustep/usr-apps/examples/gui/ExampleService/

Right now, it'll convert those HTML parts to pure text/plain parts 
(the best it can) and display them. I had discussions with Stefan 
Kleine Stegemann about the possibility to make use of his WebCore port 
in order to display HTML mails but since those mails are evil, it's 
not a high priority ;)

BTW, for questions specific to GNUMail.app, you might want to ask them 
in the GNUMail.app mailing lists. You can have more information about 
them here:
