Can my computer get infected if I hover the mouse to check the thumbnail of an e-mail attachment?

So, today an user sent me an e-mail about a suspicious e-mail. When I opened it to check it, I accidentaly hovered the mouse over the "doc.jpg" and it opened the image thumbnail. I never bothered to check the thumbnails, so I never stop to think about it, but would someone be able to execute malicious code in my computer if I checked the thumbnail?

welp

EDIT: As requested, we're using Google Chrome 43.0.2357.134 and Zimbra 8.0(yep, kinda dated, but unfortunately, we can't do anything about it).
