Overall summary

When an image message is deleted in a chat, any replies to that message still display the old image thumbnail preview. The thumbnail persists even though the original image no longer exists.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any chat
2. Send a message with an image attached
3. Reply to that message
4. Delete the original image message

Expected result

The thumbnail preview in replies should disappear or update when the original image message is deleted.

Actual result

The thumbnail preview remains visible in replies even though the original image is deleted.

This is expected behavior. When you quote (reply to) a message, it creates its own copy of a thumbnail of the original attachment. It also creates a copy of the body text of the quoted message (if it has any).
