JavaScript on by default?

"The client will, by default, execute Javascript contained within HTML mail; your editor is hard put
to come up with a reason why one would ever want to leave that option enabled."

I have been testing Thunderbird 0.7.1 for use here. On my Mac OS X iBook I looked in
Preferences... Advanced for a new user, and the "Enable JavaScript in mail messages" box is
unchecked. What platform were you testing on? Are you positive it's on by default?
