Description
Description:
When sending images through apps built using the Rocket.Chat App Engine, the images are delivered to the chat as generic file attachments instead of being rendered as inline images (with preview / thumbnail support).
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a Rocket.Chat app using the App Engine
- From the app, send a message containing an image attachment using the App Engine APIs. (in my case this a customized slash command to the user)
- Open the message in a channel
Expected behavior:

Actual behavior:

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by creating an EmbeddedChat app and sending an image attachment through the App Engine API, such as the customized slash command described. Trace how the attachment is classified and rendered in the chat, then verify that the message displays an inline image with preview or thumbnail support rather than a generic file attachment.
