Bonjour, I thank you Pete for your answer.
I understand how a picture is attached to an email. But, like it is possible with Thunderbird, the recipient must be able to choose what is convenient for him. (I consider the best ergonomy for a software is the less number of mouse clicks to perform what you want ...) As an example, for emails received from my surveillance IP Cam, emails contain only 3 photos. The body of the email is just 3 lines each beginning with an arrow, clicking on this arrow displays the photo. I just wish a parameter in the menu which enables to do it by default, without clicking. (The same with different type of attached documents, as in Thunderbird) What is said in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1291 is too sophisticated for me ...
