It defaults to shr as long as emacs was compiled with libxml. Otherwise
it tries to find various external commands, html2text amongst them. So I
guess Ralph could also be running an emacs install built without libxml
support.

(defcustom mm-text-html-renderer
  (cond ((fboundp 'libxml-parse-html-region) 'shr)
	((executable-find "w3m") 'gnus-w3m)
	((executable-find "links") 'links)
	((executable-find "lynx") 'lynx)
	((locate-library "html2text") 'html2text)
	(t nil))
        ...
)
