All that is well and good, but far more than an average user should have
to do. It's most grievous example of a user selection which was there
previously and removed that I can think of - and such a simple one at that.
It is set to 'false' by default for good reason.

I understand the risks involved with fooling around with about:config if
one doesn't know what one is doing...workarounds are fine for
experienced users, but not for the masses.
But apparently do not understand the risks associated with html and
javascript in emails. You can of course choose to ignore the default
settings & SeaMonkey/about:config allows you to do that.
I can manage those risks be being careful what I subscribe to. Not to
mention that if I have th option readily available I can readily turn it
off or on when switching subscriptions.
You might want to look into prefbar; it essentially is a front end (and
more) to about:config settings. You can add your own buttons, and could
add a button to toggle that setting with a single click.

It's the first thing that I install in SeaMonkey.

I'm not in the habit of using plugins, but Prefbar looks like it may
have some merit...for other reasons than just the Mail/News script
control. Thanks.
It's been a trusted add-on that I've used for as long as it's been
available. Manuel Reimer is also very open to bug reports, suggestions, etc.
I'll have to take a look. I seem to be looking at a LOT of alternatives
these days...
