Abstract:

A system and method for providing a display of attachments for an e-mail message includes receiving an e-mail message with a plurality of attachments at a server, where one of the attachments is a file and a second of the attachments is a link to a file provided by a third party service. A request from the e-mail server is sent to a thumbnail generation service to generate a preview thumbnail for each attachment, where each preview thumbnail has a uniform appearance. The e-mail message and the preview thumbnails generated by the thumbnail generation service are sent to a client computer for display.
