[QCWA] Resolved: HTML Add ons to AOL Email

[Bill Leggett]

Dave:
Try changing your mail send options:  under tools---> options ---> mail 
format  look for the "Send in this message format" option and set it to 
"plain text"  That option turns off all of the formatting and it should pass 
through AOL.  I had to do the same thing with my work email which is lotus 
notes.

The only bad thing is that it all of your emails will be sent this way.
