I realise this is off-topic but is there a way I can set thunderbird to
not download the headers of spam? The amount of spam I've been getting
in this ng in the last week has skyrocketed.

If you give it a little bit more thought, you will see that the correct
answer to that question must be "No."

Ok, what about the spam not appearing with the ng in thunderbird?

It can't tell whether a message is SPAM without download *something*
to examine. That something is the headers.

I don't run Thunderbird myself, but I'm sure you can set a filter to
killfile posts with "prescription" or "no prescription" in the subject
line.

FWIW, I've been sending them to groups-abuse(a)google.com. For all the
good it does that might as well be a bit bucket. I don't think they
give a fsck.

You can add a filter. Go to Tools > Message Filters. Use keywords from
the spam subject headers as keywords in the subject to filter out.

Set those messages to be deleted.
