Here are a bunch of options that may be of use to you.

(setq mm-attachment-file-modes 420)
(setq mm-body-charset-encoding-alist '((utf-8 . 8bit)))
(setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext"))
(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)

Side note, speaking of Gnus: one could buttonize based on that
notation and hyperlink to the help. ERC already does that so
maybe that is something that could be brought over easily.

Actually, I even have some Gnus stuff that one can easily
bring over to ERC buttons, namely references to man pages:
