That's legit.

Yes, the disposition was `attachment'.  This is the default in mml,
when I do a `C-c C-a'.

How can I change it so that disposition of pretty things are inline,
but ugly things are attachments?  For example, a GIF is pretty, but a
.tar.gz is ugly.

I'm not sure where a patch or .el file falls into the pretty/ugly
hierarchy..

It doesn't but not for disposition `attachment'.
