It depends on how the images are attached to the email and the exact
mime headers. Specifically there is a a mime header "Content-
Disposition:" which tells the mailer what to do with the attachment. If
it says "inline", then the mailer will display the image; if it says
"attachment", often with a filename, it will be listed at the bottom of
the message and not displayed.  If there is no Content-Disposition,
then it is assumed to be an attachment.

I think it would be difficult to justify over-riding the Content-
disposition set by the sender. This is not unique to Evolution as
you've seen.

I haven't seen such a thing. If you want the ability to show images
inline rather than fire up an external viewer, then you will need to
file a feature request at 

 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues

but I think something like

 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1291

might be what you are looking for.
