(I assume that you refer to the case when a text/plain alternative is
also available.)

I am not sure how Gnus currently handles multipart/alternative.  On
the one hand, rfc2046 clearly that alternatives are ordered by
"increasing faithfulness to the original contents".  On the other
hand, Gnus should allow the user to override this default in .gnus.

Gnus has an `mm-alternative-precedence' variable, which you can play
with to alter precedences.  The following code shifts `text/html' to
the very end of the precedence list:

    (setq mm-alternative-precedence (delete "text/html"
					    mm-alternative-precedence)
	  mm-alternative-precedence (nconc mm-alternative-precedence
					   (list "text/html")))

The trouble with the above code is that it won't work from stock
`.gnus' because `mm-alternative-precedence' is void at the time
`.gnus' is run.  So you have to use `eval-after-load' or `require' mm
from .gnus, which is, well, yucky.
