GEN: posting using AOL 6.0

[Dan Robinson <dlrbnsn2@eclipse.net>]

This information may be useful to those using AOL 6.0 and having
the html problem. Seems that AOL 6.0 sends a multipart MIME
message with both Rich Text Formatting (RTF) and HTML
sections. If you follow #1, you will avoid having any RTF in your
message, and if you post from the address in #2, your message
will be in plain text by default. This information was passed on in
another list from a member who kept badgering AOL for a solution
and wouldn't take 'that's the way it is' for an answer. A librarian
<grin>.

Hope this helps.

From fairly deep in AOL tech support:

TO SEND PLAIN TEXT ONLY E-MAIL, PLEASE REFER TO THE
INFORMATION BELOW:

1. When authoring e-mail in AOL version 6.0, remove all formatting
from the message body and send the message in the AOL 6.0
default of Arial, size 10 and do not include any
bold/italics/underline, colors, or other styles.

2. Use AOL Mail on the Web located at the site below:

http://www.aol.com

You can send e-mail from AOL Mail on the Web to Internet
addresses that reject formatting because AOL Mail on the Web
sends mail as plain text only.
