Can Thunderbird offer the ability to slect images, via a thumbnail option, when selecting images to embed into the body of the email?

Not sure if the title makes sense, but I'm trying to find out if there's any option for Thunderbird to display images as thumbnails, when you browse for an image to insert into the body of an email? In-other-words, is there a way that I can see what the images are, via the browse option, before I "insert" them into the body of the email. IE: Thumbnails?

Usually this would be somewhere around the view options, where you can select the size of the icons, but from looking over things, I don't think there is a thumbnail option, but I wanted to confirm this.

If not, that's a great option for future builds. It just makes it so much easier if you embed images, rather than attach them.

It shows thumbnails here for Large or Medium Icons, in Win 10. Open File Explorer and look at the View settings under Folder Options (see picture).

Hey sfhowes- A BIG thanks! Just what I was looking for.

You'd chuckle if you knew how may different keywords I googled, before giving up and asking it in here.
