No, I didn't read the code yet. ;-)

Personally, I'm quite happy with the text part.  If this fails or is
not present, emacs-w3m is sufficient for me.

My first though was: We probably already have something similar in
Gnus.  But I couldn't find it.

There are some minor issues.

If we don't have such a feature already, I think it would be good to
install your code.

But the code is larger than 10-15 lines (i.e. it's not a "tiny
change") so we'd need legal papers to install it.  Gnus is a part of
Emacs and since Emacs is a core GNU project, the Free Software
Foundation (FSF) requires an assignment of copyright for
contributions, so that it is able to defend Emacs' legal status
without doubts, should the need arise.  You can either sign papers
only for Gnus or for Emacs (which covers Gnus, too).

AFAICS, you haven't filed a copyright assignment for work on Gnus or
Emacs to the Free Software Foundation yet.  If you're willing to
assign your code, I can send you the required request form.  After the
assignment process completes (you get sent forms which you have to
read and sign and send back), we can install your code.

Bye, Reiner.
