Don't panic. It's called "spam", and the best way of dealing with it is
a fast delete function in your emailer. Not having the HTML parser of
your mailer active it a plus as well, and rejecting any HTML-only email
reduces the amount of spam already by at least 30%.

Java and ECMAscript are never harmful, unless you have a buggy
interpreter. ASCII is just as dangerous in the hands of a skilled
attacker ...

What font issues were you interested in?
