Change in preview for news - no pictures

It seems that now if a picture is attached to a posting, it shows as an
attachment (paperclip in upper right), but does not show at the bottom of the
preview pane as it previously did. Is there a way to change the behavior
back? I have tried several things under ToolsOptions to no avail.

With what extension (the part of the file name starting with the last
period)? If Windows Mail doesn't recognize a way to show files
with this extension, it will not show them.

The files are JPEG files with an extension of .jpg

If I click on the paperclip and click on the attachment, they view just
fine. Only the preview window doesnt show anything.

Ah ha! I found the setting. It was viewing all messages as text messages,
not HTML. The setting is in ToolsOptions - Read - "Read all messages in
plain text" was selected. When I un-selected it, voila the previews show the
attachments too!
