This reminds me a patch I made before: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/49217/focus=49575 With a little modification you can use ShellExecute to open html if there is no suitable program to open it. The last commit on mingw.git's mob branch does that (not based on my mentioned patch though).
