-For example, you can set those variables like:
+@code{gnus-buttonized-mime-types}, @ref{MIME Commands, ,MIME Commands,
+gnus, Gnus Manual}. After adding @code{"multipart/alternative"} to
+@code{gnus-buttonized-mime-types} you can choose manually which
+alternative you'd like to view. For example, you can set those
+variables like:
@lisp
(setq gnus-buttonized-mime-types
@code{(iso-8859-1)}. You can override this setting on a per-message
basis by using the @code{charset} @acronym{MML} tag (@pxref{MML Definition}).

+@code{mm-coding-system-priorities} according to the hierarchy in Gnus.

@item mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults
@vindex mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults
Mapping from @acronym{MIME} types to encoding to use. This variable is usually
@vindex rfc2047-encoded-word-regexp
When decoding words, this library looks for matches to this regexp.
+@item rfc2047-encoded-word-regexp-loose
+@vindex rfc2047-encoded-word-regexp-loose
+This is a version from which the regexp for the Q encoding pattern of
+@code{rfc2047-encoded-word-regexp} is made loose.
+
@item rfc2047-encode-encoded-words
@vindex rfc2047-encode-encoded-words
The boolean variable specifies whether encoded words
-(e.g. @samp{=?hello?=}) should be encoded again.
+(e.g. @samp{=?us-ascii?q?hello?=}) should be encoded again.
+@code{rfc2047-encoded-word-regexp} is used to look for such words.
+
+@item rfc2047-allow-irregular-q-encoded-words
+@vindex rfc2047-allow-irregular-q-encoded-words
+The boolean variable specifies whether irregular Q encoded words
+(e.g. @samp{=?us-ascii?q?hello??=}) should be decoded. If it is
+non-@code{nil}, @code{rfc2047-encoded-word-regexp-loose} is used instead
+of @code{rfc2047-encoded-word-regexp} to look for encoded words.
