We are working this issue right now.  It has to do with the fact that AOL
defaults to html and NOT straight, ordinary unformatted text.  We are a
text-only, attachment-free list.  Sraight text is the lowest common
denominator and allows all people to read things, while at the same time
allows more efficiency because added info is not sent.  If you or another
AOLer knows how to turn off the html, I would appreciate it if you could
email me, ASAP.  Otherwise, I will research this tomorrow.

PS - the only reason your post made it at all, is because Bob Rood (oops,
first time I typed that Boob Rod!) takes the time to strip the html by
hand, and re-sends them to the list.  He had to do about 50 posts the last
day, so it
took some time.
