I use AOL 5.0, and all my mail is sent Plain Text. Although, AOL works as an HTML compiler in both E-mail, and in Instant Message land. I am able to type an entire E-mail message in plain text, but then I am also able to put in an HTML source code, and AOL will compile it. I normally do this with links. Now, when I post them to the list, I am not sure as to how they show up, but on my end, it displays it correctly, and I have all plain text, and then a floating blue hyperlink at the bottom of the page. As I understand, AOL 6.0, will not send plain text. Only HTML format. If we knew why they set it like that, then we would know a lot more about the universe then wouldn't we?
