expand inline image context menu: add open image

[philipCubix]

Hi,

Currently when right clicking on an image inside an email (not an attachment), you have 3 only options:

• copy image
• save image as..
• select all

When you click an image file that is attached to an email, you get the option to open it.

In my use case it would be very handy to be able to open the inline image with my systems image viewer: this would allow me to use windows photo's text recognition feature on it so that I can extract text from it.

Currently, you're forced to save the image before I am able to open it...

I've found two topics of people who have already looked for this functionality:

• "Open" images rather than just "Save" : r/Thunderbird
• I can't open any images | Thunderbird Support Forum | Mozilla Support
