Email content problem on ipad

Sometimes my emails say content withheld and I click to download the content ( which is what I want ) but it stops doing this for no apparent reason and download content automatically. I have not changed any settings so how can I stop the content downloads? I get lots of spam emails and I don’t really want to see the content.
