Code / Description
I took Dovid's solution from the forum and customized it...
This will work for Gif,jpg,jpeg
It can be easily added for other image formats
Just create computed text and paste this formula
db := @ReplaceSubstring(@Subset(@DbName;-1);"\\";"/");
thumbWidth := "400 ";
thumbHeight := "150";
GIFs := @If ((@Contains(@UpperCase(@AttachmentNames); ".GIF")) ;@Trim(@Left(@UpperCase(@AttachmentNames); ".GIF")); "");
JPGs := @If ((@Contains(@UpperCase(@AttachmentNames); ".JPG")) ;@Trim(@Left(@UpperCase(@AttachmentNames); ".JPG")); "");
JPEGs := @If ((@Contains(@UpperCase(@AttachmentNames); ".JPEG")) ;@Trim(@Left(@UpperCase(@AttachmentNames); ".JPEG")); "");
NewGIFs:=@If (GIFs="";"";GIFs+".GIF");
NewJPGs:=@If (JPGs="";"";JPGs+".JPG");
NewJPEGs:=@If (JPEGs="";"";JPEGs+".JPG");
files := @Trim(NewGIFs : NewJPGs :NewJPEGs);
urls := "\"/" + db + "/" + @Text(@DocumentUniqueID) + "/$File/" + @Text(files) + "\"";
urlnew:= @ReplaceSubstring(urls;" ";"%20");
@If(@Elements(files);"<A onclick= javascript:window.open("+urlnew +") TARGET=_new><img src=" + urls + "\" +\" border=0 width=" + thumbWidth + " height=" + thumbHeight + "></A><br><a class=\'BodyText\' onclick=return false style=\'text-decoration:none\'>Click on the image to preview the full image</a>";"")

This works great on the web, but not in notes. Or did I do something wrong? I added this code to a computed text field and set it to Pass thru HTML. I also set "Force pass thru HTML in Notes". Still all I get is a red x....

Robert, the only reason why you are getting to look that red x is because it is not finding the location of the image. The reason behind that is, the notes client cannot navigate to the specified value in the url. Only the web server can understand what is "/" in the beginning.
"/" - gets the whole info of the server like for ex: http://servername/... etc.
So, client cannot get this value. So inorder to achive this simply write the database path or formula to open the specified image.
And more over pass through is designed to work with web browsers. So, try going in client way......:)
HTH,
