Prioritize coding systems to use for outgoing messages. The default
is @code{nil}, which means to use the defaults in Emacs, but is
-@code{(iso-8859-1 iso-2022-jp iso-2022-jp-2 shift_jis utf-8)} when
-running Emacs in the Japanese language environment. It is a list of
-coding system symbols (aliases of coding systems are also allowed, use
-@kbd{M-x describe-coding-system} to make sure you are specifying correct
-coding system names). For example, if you have configured Emacs
-to prefer UTF-8, but wish that outgoing messages should be sent in
-ISO-8859-1 if possible, you can set this variable to
-@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.
