Outlook Express is actually a "module" or subset of Internet Explorer. It would be somewhat unreasonable to remove java/javascript support from a web browser nowadays. VB scripting is a different story. I *think* it's part of "Windows Scripting Host", which you can remove seperately. It's an optional part of a Windows installation. I'm using Outlook Express right now... Let me check if you can turn off java/javascript in the mail client alone (I know you can with Netscape's mail client and mozilla's client). Okay, from what I can see regarding java/javascript, the best you can do is turn on "prompting". The choices are enable, disable, and prompt.
