want to send attachments as a thumbnail not automatically opening
When I send an attachment, usually a picture, it opens in the body of the email. I need to send them as a "button" or thumbnail that the receiver can click on to open. I sometimes need to send a picture and a document and have them be able to be opened separately. New to Thunderbird yesterday.

If you truly send an attachment enter vs imbedding the image in the body of the email you have done your part. It is up the the recipient to know how to work their email client. In Thunderbird there is a setting to show attachments inline but that is for email YOU receive.

I am testing on another email on my computer. Could you tell me where the setting is to show the attachments inline on the ones I receive. I know this is basic but have not been able to find it.
Err, View|Display Attachments Inline.
View|Message Body As|Original HTML will also determine if messages intended to be viewed inline are offered as such, or instead as attachments.
But, as said, that's for how you view messages sent to you. You can't control what other users or their email clients do with messages you sent to them.
I think the nearest to what you ask for is to serve the actual images on a web server, and send URLs, perhaps attached to thumbnails, in your messages.
