Yep. It also happens here. It seems Thunderbird (Icedove) is using two 
different GTK+ file chooser menus (or just has disabled the preview pane 
in one of them).

Look:

a/ When you open Icedove and go "File → open → saved message" and from 
combobox select "show all files" and then choose an image, there is a 
preview in the right pane as it should, like Iceweasel does.

But...

b/ When you are composing a message and select "Attach file" and select 
an image, there is no preview.

Quite strange it's using two types of menus but true is that Icedove also 
features a very different "print" menu than Iceweasel :-?
