The quick answer is "you can't" ... I don't know if any of the management tools
support images, Flamerobin doesn't.

I'm using Firebird behind PHP, and while early on we used to store pictures in
the database, it very quickly became obvious that we needed to maintain
different image sizes 'cached' outside the database so there was little
intensive to add tools to view or use images inside. We just store the file name
and have a directory structure that allows easy access to each file - and it's
thumbnails.

So the question is really - "What are you wanting to do?"
