Al,
I haven't post in a long time, since switching to OS X anyway, so here is a test of aol on OS X. How's it look, any HTML junk on the end?

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.
