How to Remove Advertising Embedded in an Email Message

I have several mail lists (e.g. any list that is from Yahoo Groups or the sender uses a tool to insert advertising in the email messages it sends) & would like to remove this from the message base stored on my computer.

I have had good success at blocking this garbage when I use Firefox but need something that works with Thunderbird. I cannot say there is not already an add-on for Thunderbird, but if there is. I have yet to find it.

I do not object to writing my own pattern matches but have no idea how to integrate this into Thunderbird.

From the searches I have done so far, it appears that uBlock Origin used to work with Thunderbird but the format for add-ons within Thunderbird has changed & have seen several warnings about it for this reason.

I am slowly migrating from uBlock Origin to AdGuard as uBlock Origin does not seem to be available on handheld devices while AdGuard is (sorry but as I copy/paste filter elements between platforms it is easier with 1 tool.)

Any suggestions on this subject would be appreciated.

I am also not aware of any ad-blocking add-on for TB 60. Although it's not a substitute for a proper ad blocker, you could stop remote images from being downloaded by choosing View/Message Body As as either Simple HTML or Plain Text, as both disable remote content.

I believe the Firefox version of uBlock Origin also works on Android Firefox.
