On my last post regarding this topic I expressed ignorance about the Mac. So just now I tested a Mac post using AOL 5.0. It sent only text with no modifications needed. However, my older Mac G4 uses OS 9.2, so I can't run the latest AOL on it--the newer AOL is so much better that I do email on a PC until the day when I give in and go to OS X.  Probably the same (i.e., no problem) with OS X, but someone running that might like to report on it.
 
When I got back from a trip last week and was checking old RCSE digests, I noted that there was a discussion a week or two ago regarding this, with the apparently widely held belief expressed that AOL can't suppress HTML, thus printing text followed by gibberish which takes several screens of clicking until the reader gets past it. In fact, if HTML can be eliminated from an AOL post by right clicking and selecting "text" with a PC, it should be possible with any email program.
