Okay, this is just plain OBNOXIOUS. Just got an E-Mail from Norwegian
Cruise Lines that contained an embedded video, and as soon as the
preview window loaded it started to play. This is annoying at home but
it will be especially vile in an office cubicle environment. I looked
for an option to turn off "Auto Play" in "Preferences" but I couldn't
find anything. Is there a hidden option somewhere that I can disable
this nonsense??

What version of TB?
Win 10 TB 78.8.0 and it doesn't happen for me.
Tools = Options = General = scroll w-a-y down to about:config. Say
pretty please... and search on 'autoplay'.
For me, 'media.autoplay.enabled' is set by default as 'false'.

I have the same version of Thunderbird on Linux. When I select "Tools," however, I do not see an "Options" selection... I see "Developer

In my v78 for Win, "Options" is 3 lines below "Developer Tools" in the
