I did M-x debug-on-entry RET open-network-stream RET  (or an equivalent of
t that in elisp, but the code I did is now lost & forgotten ;/

The docstring relevant to the renderers below it at the end of this email.

'gnus-w3m respect gnus-blocked-images

I could not run 'w3m on that system... nor 'w3

There was no effect with 'w3m-standalone -- in this case I'd think it is up
to w3m binary to load external stuff or not. I presume the same is the
case with 'links, 'lynx, 'html2text and nil

So, to add to David's suggestion maybe just set both gnus-blocked-images
and shr-blocked-images to the value of notmuch-show-text/html-blocked-images

mm-text-html-renderer is a variable defined in `mm-decode.el'.
Its value is shr

Documentation:
Render of HTML contents.
It is one of defined renderer types, or a rendering function.
The defined renderer types are:
`shr': use the built-in Gnus HTML renderer;
`gnus-w3m': use Gnus renderer based on w3m;
`w3m': use emacs-w3m;
`w3m-standalone': use plain w3m;
`links': use links;
`lynx': use lynx;
`w3': use Emacs/W3;
`html2text': use html2text;
nil    : use external viewer (default web browser).
