Cumbersome usability
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be a great feature to quickly preview attachment on inbound and even outbound emails quicker with hover over functionality.
At the moment a user has to click on the file which then opens a full screen modal that needs to be manually closed this functionality is a bit cumbersome when looking for the correct attachment on inbound messages with several attachments or looking through several emails.
Hover over functionality would make this easier, a user could just hover over the file for .3/.4 seconds see a preview of the file in a modal, then move on to the next file. This functionality would also be great for outbound messages to confirm that the attachment(s) is/are correct before sending.
Some thing like this desktop implementation...

Research direction
Start by locating the attachment rendering and existing full-screen preview modal in the mail app, then compare the inbound and outbound message views. Define the hover delay and preview behavior for supported attachments, and verify that hovering does not disrupt the existing click-to-open flow.
