Research direction

Start by tracing the attachment thumbnail component and the send/composer flow in the Nextcloud Mail app; the issue does not name files or tests, so first locate where selected attachments are rendered. Determine how the app currently handles image, PDF, and DOCX attachments, then identify the existing preview mechanism or appropriate entry point. Done means clicking a thumbnail opens a preview before sending for the requested file types.

Describe the solution you'd like

Open a preview of the file (image, PDF, DOCX, or any other format) so you can check that you’ve selected the right one before you hit send.
