Is it harmless enough to click "Yes, I really do want you to fuck off,"
or should I panic and close the entire browser/email program with CTRL-Q
and never return?
Never click anything on such a site. They may have reprogrammed the
"kill' button to give permission to download an EXE trojan.
Yes, but downloading an .exe file isn't going to cause any harm.
RUNNING the program will. So, no harm in clicking the button, SM won't
allow running the file, only saving it.
Even better, is there a setting in SeaMonkey that will prevent them from
pulling this? Preferably one that doesn't cripple thousands of other
innocuous sites doing legitimate stuff...
Turn off javascript.

sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
