Mojave Mail.app no longer displays images while composing
Using Apple's Mail.app V12.4 running Mojave V10.14.6...
While composing a message, I used to be able to drop photos, screen grabs, etc. into the message and then view them in context. As of recently, only the icon of the file (named "Pasted Graphic-1.png" in the case of a ScreenShot) appears in the message editing pane.
I have tried, based on another post I read here,...
Quitting Mail
In Terminal, entering
$ defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
$ defaults read com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing
0
Launching Mail
...to no avail. Mail still shows only icons in the Composing pane.
If I Save the message, then select it* in the Message List of the Message Viewer, the Preview Pane shows the images. However, if I double-click on the message in the Message List, the Editing window opens up showing the file icons, no images. I can move them around, but I cannot see the result until I save, then go look* in the Message Viewer window to see my results.
I'd appreciate suggestions for further research.

- - the Message List does not update immediately. To kickstart it, I select another message, then select back. It's after I select back that the images appear.
