You can customize how emacs-w3m works when visiting a new page.
For example, the following configuration makes emacs-w3m pop to
a new frame up.

(setq w3m-pop-up-frames t)

See also w3m-make-new-session, w3m-pop-up-windows, w3m-use-tab
and w3m-popup-frame-parameters.

The `M-x w3m RET' command picks up a string like url around the
cursor.  See also w3m-quick-start.  Running `M-x goto-address RET'
is another choice.

Setting mm-inline-text-html-with-images as t will help.  I'm
using the following command instead of setting that variable,
though.

(defun gnus-summary-w3m-safe-toggle-inline-images (&optional arg)
  "Toggle displaying of all images in the article buffer.
If the prefix arg is given, all images are considered to be safe."
  (interactive "P")
  (with-current-buffer gnus-article-buffer
    (w3m-safe-toggle-inline-images arg)))

(eval-after-load "gnus-sum"
  '(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map
     "\C-i" 'gnus-summary-w3m-safe-toggle-inline-images))
