RESPONSE TO Ken and John: 

Wayne Smith took exception to this  all this and in a hasty moment 
....pounded out a email to the list  yesterday with how instructions on how to send 
plain text in AOL. 

Now  today Ken Brody is pointing out that the original email statement was 
about AOL  8.0, and since I have AOL 9.0 SE, unfortunately I haven't used AOL 
8.0 now in  over a year or more,  I can not answer how to send plain text in 
that  version.  Oh yeaaa If the original poster had read all the scoop on  
upgrading from 8.0 to 9.0 he would have noted that ver 9.0 is more for Windows  XP 
(32bit) and higher horsepower computers.  Many folks tried getting the  latest 
and greatest AOL ver 9.0 only to be thwarted because of computer  
resourses.....which as we all know can cause mysterious errors.

I sure don't want to start a flame war over email issues, I was  just  trying 
to HELP in an area where I thought I could.   I am  destined to  BURN IN 
AOHELL...{S firetruck}  Thats a wav file you can  use in AOL from Vers 3.0 to 
9.0...chuckle.
