-This command looks in the @code{Content-Type} header to determine the
-charset. If there is no such header in the article, you can give it a
-prefix, which will prompt for the charset to decode as. In regional
-groups where people post using some common encoding (but do not include
-MIME headers), you can set the @code{charset} group/topic parameter to
-the required charset (@pxref{Group Parameters}).
