When I get emails from certain candidates, it's automatically marked with [spam] in the subject line, how do I put a stop to this unwanted manipulation?

Thunderbird is inserting [spam] in the subject line of emails. It is being selectively being done to emails from conservative website emails and conservative candidates. Only a "few" of the REAL spam emails are treated this way. I've included a screen shot of one such marked email.

Someone has put some code into Thunderbird to cause this in order to threaten, harass, and manipulate conservative voters. I want to know how to eliminate this. I also want Mozilla to REMOVE this from Thunderbird. It's just wrong on every level.

Wrong. Your email provider or security software is doing this.

Thunderbird does not tamper with subject lines or message content. To check this you could look at these messages in an alternative email client, or in your email provider's webmail portal. You will find the same "[spam]" insertion there. The message is being adulterated before it gets to Thunderbird.
