"how to disable the 'automatic' opening of attachments in email"

File attachments (image files) incoming email are, "opening themselves", i.e., appearing in the email body along with the email body text content. Would prefer all the attachments remain attachments when opening email. Thunderbird 68.7.0 (32-bit)
