Ticking a box ([X]) to enable something is more logical than ticking a box to enable the disableing of something. In Special:Preferences "Disable e-mail from other users" should be changed to "Enable e-mail from other users", it's brief and to the point.
I totally agree and have proposed the same some time ago. Together with my work on Enotif (bug 454) I'll change the behaviour, if the other developers have nothing against this change. Tom
committed myself to implement this

I'd be more inclined to have it displayed as "Allow email from other users" myself.
