Thanks for your comments. To be honest, I had the impression that Emacs
is still treating the two MinGW flavors as equal. Having a clear
preference makes thing much easier.

Thanks for catching this, it was indeed caused by refilling.

My reason for adding them is to catch up with emacs-mime.texi which uses
semi-colon:
@example
image/*; gimp -8 %s
audio/wav; wavplayer %s
application/msword; catdoc %s ; copiousoutput ; nametemplate=%s.doc
@end example
The manuals should be in line. I can't say it the Gnus syntax changed
somewhere.

It is the former: mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-hunspell 1.7.0-7.
I'm attaching hopefully the final version. Once approved, I would
prepare a patch incl. ChangeLog entry.
