Here is the cleaned up version in total
you requested, Mike. The web site for this resource is at the bottom of
everything here. This is the email cleanup program I use to get rid of those
>>><<<<< pests. I didn't apply it to this response. In the cleaned up
version, you will note that the <> are kept around addresses in the message
headings.
The program is simple to use, straight-forward, unpretentious, and not
loaded with any other "activities" or marketing ploys. It downloads quickly
and I've got a shortcut which I can activate (Run) when needed for specific
copy, paste, clean, copy and then send activities.

Re: Dex-Cool . . . I hesitate to ask this
If one wants to forward one of those tedious "forward this to all your
friends" call-to-action or "isn't this kitten cute" emails, then stripping
out massively-nested ">>" quotes before sending is only polite. But when
replying to the reply of a replied-to message, quoting is a Good Thing so we
know who said what.
AOL users often need assistance when it comes to quoting. I don't think it
defaults to quoting. As I understand it, if they first highlight the text
they want to quote before clicking on "reply," the text gets pasted into the
reply with the quote marks.

If you don't properly attribute messages, trim them, and do not use the
standard convention of quoting the message you are responding to (">" in
first column of quoted text) to make it clear who is speaking, then such
confusion is bound to continue. The AOL client should support that.

Most every 'bad' story I've read thus far, including the links you quote,

'failures' is the fact that the owners allowed coolant levels to go
unchecked and were found to be extremely low. Boiling coolant would not be
good in any vehicle, no matter what the make or coolant used.
I've seen the innards of many VW's using Dexcool for the years
(including my own) and there is absolutely no evidence of any problems.
It's also a well-known fact that VWs leak coolant eventually around all
plastic flanges. They warp and crack, then leak. It isn't the coolant
causing this, for sure.
THANK YOU Karl, well said !

Try applying it to the same message and post it again. I want to see the
difference.
