[QCWA] Resolved: HTML Add ons to AOL Email

[David Mays]

Thank you for the advice Bill.  I checked and the default for my Outlook is
HTML.  I can put all the AOL addresses into one group, set up one message in
plain text for them and try sending the newsletter out.  If that works OK,
I'll most likely revert to HTML as the mailings only go out 5-6 times a year
to this group.  I also set up one of the free AOL mail accounts and managed
to send mail to the fellows with no problem.  Guess if ya can't beat
em...join em, eh?

73, Dave W8UI

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.
