 Subject: AOL and Plain Text Email
 
 I have just received an email from AOL Technical support concerning the 
 problem with listervs.  Here is the salient part of their response:

 We are aware of some issues raised by LISTSERV owners and Postmasters whose 
 systems do not accept richly formatted/HTML mail. We are actively monitoring 
 the issue. In the meantime, members who want to send e-mails to Internet 
 addresses which reject rich formatting, may use one of the following 
 alternatives to send plain text only mail:
 
 1) When authoring mail in AOL 6.0 remove all formatting from the message 
body 
 and send the message in the AOL 6.0 default of Arial, size 10 - do not 
 include any bold/italics/underline, colors, or other styles.
 
 2) Use AOL Mail on the Web (at http://www.aol.com) to send mail to Internet 
 addresses which reject formatting - AOL Mail on the Web sends mail as plain 
 text only.

 For method #2, you can goto www.aol.com from within aol or from any other 
 Internet connection.  You can then enter your login information and access a 
 web-based version of your email which can send in plain text only.
 
 Hope this helps.

I went through all that, and decided it was far more trouble than just 
putting AOL 5 back on.  No problems with email in version 5, and I can't 
really see what version 6 did for me anyway.
