You can't really use `mug' for this since you can't control it from the
outside (such as from emacs).

If you use one of the emacs 25 pre-releases with xwidget-support,
there's also mu4e-action-view-with-xwidget, which is quite similar to
mug. Perhaps that works?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'mu4e-view-actions
'("xViewXWidget" . mu4e-action-view-with-xwidget) t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Kind regards,
Dirk.
