The most easy way is to have the ~/.mailcap file; see:

(info "(emacs-mime)mailcap")

When having modified the ~/.mailcap file while Gnus is running,
run `M-x mailcap-parse-mailcaps RET' to update Gnus' internal
mailcap database.  IIUC, mailcap.el prefers ~/.mailcap,
/etc/mailcap, /usr/etc/mailcap, /usr/local/etc/mailcap, and the
default mailcap data that mailcap.el provides (in this order).
