Well, as have been said before on this list, chances are that if a new
version of Emailer ever sees the day, under whatever name, AOL connection
code would have been lifted out due to the fact that AOL have copyright
on that code and are unlikely to lease it anew to a third party again. At
least this is what I believe.

Let me also say, as a very happy non AOL user, that even without AOL
support Emailer still rocked back in 1998 and the years before that and
it's still in there, but perhaps now more just chugging along with the
help of great utilities like Baton Mail and nice knowledgeable people on
a mailing list. That it's actually faster and use less resources in
classic, than does PowerMail 3.1.3, my current email client, natively in
OS X 10.2.x. While that speaks with some detriment of PM and to the
magnitude of the work the people with Andy Tevanian have done with X, it
also tells me that Emailer was an excellent coded application. I really
think his probably means that Emailer could thrive in a Carbon version,
even without AOL support.  Emailer, as a coded product remains a big
inspiration to me.

And when I'm now downplaying the importance of AOL, let me take the
opportunity to say that I never will understand why you AOL'ers just
don't remove that extra "Re:" After all, you, or the network of your
choice, put it there. Probably, I'm not doing something similar that
confuses other people. 
;)
