The fix by bugrasan works OK and gets the emojis down to normal size however the emoji's are no longer colour but black and white. This is at least a good workaround for the time being.
I think you will find this problem will be fixed in a later version of Thunderbird. I downloaded Thunderbird 60 Beta tar.bz2 from their website. Without actually installing it I extracted the folder and ran that version of Thunderbird from within that folder. It will automatically pick up you settings and email addresses etc from the version you have installed. It worked fine and the emojis contained in this version of Thunderbird are of normal size and are coloured. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761844 Title: Very large emojis displayed in subject line and in the email list Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Invalid Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The list of emails received from Thunderbird shows emojis.
