Greetings!
This is a bit off topic, but a discussion on another group that has some
ChileHead members highlighted something that affects some ChileHeads.
AOL version 6 _only_ send html (web) email. The ChileHead list, like
many lists, won't accept html mail.
AOL v5 works. So if you recently upgraded to aol 6 and can't post to
this list but can receive that's why.
Feel free to contact me off list if you have any questions.
Riley

Hi all,
I'll try to keep this the last OT post about aol mail. email me
off-list if you have anymore questions.
AOL v6 email _only_ sends html mail. Thus it will not work with many
lists, like the Chilehead list. They don't accept html mail.
I just got off the phone with aol support on this. He said there was no
way to turn it off. He suggested I write stevecase@aol.com and state
the problem. Which I will. This obviously won't go to Steve Case, the
CEO, but does go up the ladder. Don't hold your breath.
One workaround is to use aol v5 for lists. I did a test using aol 5 and
it does send plain text. I do not know if you can run aol 5 _and_ 6 on
the same computer. I used different computers.
Again, consider getting a real isp. If you really need aol it's only
$10/mon if you don't use their modems. (Use the Lan/TCPIP setting in
the aol dialer.)
hth,
Riley
