Is this what you are looking for?

,----[ C-h k K H ]
| gnus-article-browse-html-article is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
| `gnus-art.el'.
| 
| (gnus-article-browse-html-article &optional ARG)
| 
| View "text/html" parts of the current article with a WWW browser.
| Inline images embedded in a message using the cid scheme, as they are
| generally considered to be safe, will be processed properly.
| The message header is added to the beginning of every html part unless
| the prefix argument ARG is given.
| 
| Warning: Spammers use links to images (using the http scheme) in HTML
| articles to verify whether you have read the message.  As
| `gnus-article-browse-html-article' passes the HTML content to the
| browser without eliminating these "web bugs" you should only
| use it for mails from trusted senders.
| 
| If you always want to display HTML parts in the browser, set
| `mm-text-html-renderer' to nil.
| 
| This command creates temporary files to pass HTML contents including
| images if any to the browser, and deletes them when exiting the group
| (if you want).
