Since WordPress 2.9, you can choose which image will represent a post and will be displayed as thumbnail. This plugin allows backward compatibility for your former posts.
it filters on the_post_thumbnail() function. If no post thumbnail is defined, the plugin will get first image belonging to post. If it still doesn’t find any image, it will scan for the first image found post content.

The image will be displayed according to the arguments (size and attributes) set when calling the_post_thumbnail().
