Thanks indeed for your help.
The matter seems harder than I thought.
I repeated the installation of emacs-w3m into another linux partition
where I have Emacs CVS 21.3.50 installed one month ago,
which includes gnus 5.11 (it should support emacs-w3m, shouldn't it?),
but encountered the same problems.
Before installing emacs-w3m, I installed the following packages:
gc.tar.gz; openssl-0.9.7e.tar.gz; w3m-0.5.1.tar.gz.
I don't know if it's important, but during the 'make' step
in the installation of openssl-0.9.7e.tar.gz
the following message went on appearing:

`-mcpu=' is deprecated. Use `-mtune=' or '-march=' instead.

No other problems seemed to occur.
I'm sending the html mail in question to your personal address,
from MS Outlook. It's just one the many adverts you get from internet.
I know it's mostly spam, but sometimes they could be of ineterest for me
and I don't want to miss them.
When I try to view it via gnus, the images are not shown at all.

How do I run emacs-w3m? If I do '$ emacs-w3m' from command line,
it says: bash: emacs-w3m: command not found. If, within Emacs, I do
`M-x emacs-w3m RET', in the echo area it says: [No match].
As well, if within Emacs I do `M-x report-emacs-w3m-bug RET',
in the echo area it says: [No match].
Within Emacs, I did 'M-x w3m RET', then 'M-x report-emacs-w3m-bug RET'
and in the echo area appeared the prompt:
Bug subject:
. I replied with: 'emacs-w3m-version RET', and a message appeared,
which contained the following:

I copied the two expressions into the *scratch* buffer and did `C-j'.
For the first one I got this error message:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable emacs-w3m-version)
  eval(emacs-w3m-version)
  eval-last-sexp-1(t)
  eval-last-sexp(t)
  eval-print-last-sexp()
  call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp)

; when I evaluated the second, in the line below appeared the following:

"/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/w3m/w3m.elc"

I did so, and this was the output:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[rodolfo@localhost emacs-w3m-1.4.3]$ make what-where

lispdir=/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/w3m
ICONDIR=/usr/local/share/emacs/21.3.50/etc/w3m/icons
PACKAGEDIR=NONE
infodir=/usr/local/info

install:
  *.el, *.elc, ChangeLog* -> /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/w3m/
  *.info, *.info-*        -> /usr/local/info/

install-icons:
  *.xpm                   -> /usr/local/share/emacs/21.3.50/etc/w3m/icons/

install-info:
  *.info, *.info-*        -> /usr/local/info/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my .emacs there is:

(require 'w3m-load)

, and in my .gnus.el there is:

(setq mm-inline-text-html-renderer 'w3m)
(setq mm-inline-text-html-with-images t)
(setq mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp nil)

I'm also attaching all the steps I followed during the installation of
emacs-w3m.

Thanks again,

From http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w3m/ I downloaded the package w3m-0.5.1.tar.gz
and copied it into the ~/tmp dir.

From http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org I downloaded the package 
emacs-w3m-1.4.3.tar.gz and copied it into the ~/tmp dir.

from http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/
I downloaded the package gc.tar.gz and copied it into the ~/tmp dir.
Then,
# urpmi gcc
$ cd /home/rodolfo/tmp
$ tar xzvf gc.tar.gz
$ cd gc6.3
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make check
# make install

From internet I downloaded openssl-0.9.7e.tar.gz and copied into my ~/tmp dir.
There I did
$ tar xzvf openssl-0.9.7e.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-0.9.7e
$ ./config
$ make
$ make test
# make install

$ export LDFLAGS="-Xlinker -R/usr/local/lib"

$ cd /home/rodolfo/tmp
$ tar xzvf w3m-0.5.1.tar.gz
$ cd w3m-0.5.1
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

$ cd ~/tmp
$ tar xzvf emacs-w3m-1.4.3.tar.gz
$ cd emacs-w3m-1.4.3
$ ./configure
$ make what-where
$ make
# make install
# make install-icons

In .emacs I put the lines:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/w3m"))
(require 'w3m-load)

, and in .gnus.el the lines:
(setq mm-inline-text-html-renderer 'w3m)
(setq mm-inline-text-html-with-images t)
(setq mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp nil)
