Yes, it will be displayed unless `inhibit-images' is non-nil.
In that case, the url of the embedded data begins with "cid:",
and `shr-tag-img' doesn't see what `blocked-images' is.

I have `inhibit-images'=t and `blocked-images'=nil, so images are
not displayed normally, but do `W D W' (gnus-article-show-images)
only when I want to see those images.

Oops.  Sorry for my nonsense.  But I'd like to make it obsolete
anyway, since it is a very old option (that is what I made 14
years ago) and has been being used for only w3m.  I'll do:

(make-obsolete-variable 'mm-inline-text-html-with-images nil "25.1")

(defcustom mm-html-inhibit-images t
  "Non-nil means inhibit displaying of images inline in the article body."
  :version "25.1"
  :type 'boolean
  :group 'mime-display
  :set (lambda (symbol value)
	 (custom-set-default
	  symbol
	  (if (boundp 'mm-inline-text-html-with-images)
	      (not (symbol-value 'mm-inline-text-html-with-images))
	    value))))

The refactoring in Gnus and mm will probably be finished within
a week.
