Viewing JPG Files
Current Thunderbird Version 128.9.2esr (64-bit)
Edition Windows 10 Home (64-bit) Version 22H2 Installed on 6/26/2020 OS build 19045.5796 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19061.1000.0
Unable to view JPG files when clicking the attachment. No option to choose JPG under files and attachments in settings. While I can chose JPEG, there is no option for JPG.
Thanks in advance.

JPEG is JPG. The internet has no use for the windows only use of file extensions to identify a type of content. and mail have no use for file extensions.
So can we perhaps try and workout what the real issue is, like you have a malformed email where the media is incorrectly identified.
Is it all JPG files, or only those from a particular sender or web site?
I have the same problem. Perfectly good .jpg files won't open directly, I have to save them first. Like the OP, if I go to Settings and Files and Attachments, .jpg is not listed, so I cannot do anything about it.
This happens to ALL jpgs, wherever they are sent from; they are not in any way 'malformed'. If saved they open perfectly in all programmes that can read jpgs. This is 100% a Thunderbird problem, which emerged only recently. It is not OS related as I went to my current OS a year ago and I was able to open jpgs directly perfcetly well since I had the new OS. (Windows 11).
