Go ahead and turn Java back on. That refers to web pages, not email. There
is so much Java flying around the network these days, that turning it off
means many pages won't display properly.

Note that Java and Javascript are different, with Javascript being
inherently more insecure, especially when contained withing email
messages. 

Sorry to alarm everyone, but better safe than sorry.
