This is part of our new virus and content scanning to protect you from malicious emails.

Whenever you see {disarmed} it means that a web bug or tracking code was found in an HTML e-mail and has been removed or "disarmed". That is to say code that would have sent info back to a remote server without your knowledge or consent. These are most often found in HTML marketing e-mails and SPAM to track when users open and read their e-mails. The disarmed tag means that the tracking code was removed but other than that the e-mail is unchanged and will look normal.
