Stop autoplay music/audio embebed in emails

Recently I've been getting emails which when opened, automatically start playing music. This is very annoying and intrusive, there is no warning or indication so when I am going though my emails, suddenly loud music start playing. I can't see anything in the settings to stop this. I don't want to silence the whole computer, or even Thunderbird, I would still like to get the normal notification sounds, I just want to mute/stop the automatic playing of embedded audio, ideally I would like an option to appear when I open the message, "click here to play embedded audio", but if that's not possible, just permanently stop all embedded audio playing.

Thanks JD

Thanks sfthowes, Changing media.autoplay.default to either 1 or 2 both stop the sound (and video) like I asked, but neither give me an obvious prompt to allow the playing, hover over the picture and the player controls pop up allowing me to play them. This does what I wanted but has the drawback that unless I hover over the image I don't know if it is a picture or a video. A nearby setting, "media.autoplay.allow-muted" looked like what I wanted but it is already set to "true". This got me thinking, there must be a default volume. I then found "media.default_volume", I set this to "0" and now the video plays with no sound, if I want sound I can turn it on in the slider beneath the video. Thanks again for your help JD

Edit/Preferences/General/Config. editor, right-click media.autoplay.default and change it to 1 or 2 (blocked or prompt). Does that work?
