I do this:

  (setq mm-discouraged-alternatives '("text/html" "text/richtext"))
  (setq mm-text-html-renderer       'w3m)

Here, "w3m" isn't w3m (for that, use `w3m-standalone'), "w3m"
is Emacs-w3m.

Ah, might as well yank the list:

 ‘shr’: use the built-in Gnus HTML renderer;
 ‘gnus-w3m’: use Gnus renderer based on w3m;
 ‘w3m’: use emacs-w3m;
 ‘w3m-standalone’: use plain w3m;
 ‘links’: use links;
 ‘lynx’: use lynx;
 ‘html2text’: use html2text.

Despite being a happy Emacs-w3m user and after spending half
a lifetime configuring [1] it I could never change,
practically speaking but ... why isn't eww in the list?

Also, that order ... is it the recommended pecking order
according to the developers? If not, alpha sort always work:

 ‘gnus-w3m’: use Gnus renderer based on w3m
 ‘html2text’: use html2text
 ‘links’: use links
 ‘lynx’: use lynx
 ‘shr’: use the built-in Gnus HTML renderer
 ‘w3m-standalone’: use plain w3m
 ‘w3m’: use emacs-w3m
