Isn't it! :)

Well, the block is extracted by Gnus and displayed inline as an org-mode
buffer (see commit 2d2f709ab067c5688f325fc64c618988ed6fd178 for
implementation detail, it's really simple).

The font lock is then done by org-mode itself with the help of Babel[1].

Note that attaching file inline (or making them rendered inline with
`K i') is now also supported by Gnus if the file has a correct
content-type. I've added for example shell script colorization with
commit 6242139e39fe923bf469377ed1d64487c900d0eb. You just have to
copy/paste this for other language you usually find in attached file.

This should be fontified:
