Welcome Hmbhelp,
Depending on the file type, you can right click on the image or document then select 'View as Icon'. To reverse, see it in the message instead of the icon you can right click on it in the Mail window, then select 'View in Place'.

You can change how attachments are displayed in the Compose window (this doesn’t determine how attachments are shown for your recipients). To display an attachment (such as a one-page PDF document or an image) as an icon, Control-click the attachment in your message, then choose View as Icon. To show the attachment again, Control-click it, then choose View in Place.
Let us know if that helps to solve this for you, cheers.
