At least by default it doesn't display them inline, see
`mm-inline-large-images'. I toggled it and tried to view a wide image
(the frame is 80 chars wide). I couldn't figure out how to view the
right hand side part of the image conveniently. The best I could
think of was `scroll-left'. (I used `i image' in the Emacs manual.)

Good point.

I don't think any MUA in the wild sends PDFs as disposition=inline (of
course you can do with Gnus).

I'd suggest to implement viewing in an extra buffer first. I think
it's not worth the trouble to implement inline display in the article
buffer. But if someone wants to do it...

Which are the related files? (mailcap.el doesn't require any other
packages after my changes.)

I don't have a strong opinion on this.
[ IIRC, Miles should be back soon, so hopefully the change are synced
within a couple of days. ]
Bye, Reiner.
