His subj. said java script, but in the message he said Java.  Not many, 
if any web mails REQUIRE java.  But many sites, incl. many web mails 
need js - at least to login.  You might be able to get around w/o js, 
once logged in.
There's no way around not using js, on some sites, if you want it to 
work, be able to d/l files, etc.  In TBB, NoScript comes set default to 
allow js globally.

Never say never - but I don't know that the real risk of js is leaking 
identity so much as someone running malicious code on sites you don't 
know or shouldn't trust.
