Disable JavaScript Support

Disabling JavaScript is important for protecting yourself against e-mail spying. There is absolutely no reason why e-mail client should run JavaScript embedded in e-mail messages.
Microsoft allows you to turn off JavaScript in its e-mail programs; unfortunately, doing so will also disable JavaScript in Internet Explorer as well, where many Web pages rely on JavaScript to work.

Microsoft Outlook

Choose "Tools", and then "Options", and then select the "Security" tab. In the "Secure Content" area, choose the dropdown menu for "Zone" and select "Restricted Sites.

Mozilla or Netscape E-mail Program

Mozilla and Netscape 6 allow you to enable JavaScript for Web browsing but disable it while reading e-mail. These preferences reflect the needs of many people.
In either the Web browser or the e-mail program, choose the Edit menu, then "Preferences", then "Advanced", and then "Scripts & Windows". At the top of the preferences page, you can set JavaScript as you it fits you best.
