Turning of annoying emojis from spam mail in front of the subject lines of my inbox

Hi,

I'm running Thunderbird 52.7.0 in Ubuntu and I'm dealing with a really annoying issue: Whenever I open Thunderbird there are advertisement emojis from advertisement/Spam email pre-loaded in front of the subject lines of my inbox. Usually it's Dollar signs, present boxes or cameras and when I click on them the linked (spam/advertisement) email opens. Usually some you won our lottery (which I didn't play) or play to win nonsense. This is really annoying sincethe emojis cover up to half of the subject lines making it hard to identify the subjects of my "real" email's. In principle I only want to have a simple plain email-client without any email content being pre-loaded - especially not in front of my inbox. If I should want to see a picture or any mail content I'm perfectly capable to manually open it. Is there any way to configure Thunderbird to not display those emojis? Or in fact not to pre-load anything? I'm thankful for any tips/ideas how to solve this.
