It appears that the latest version of AOL does not allow you send in plain text format.
Depends on what version you mean. If you mean 6.0, it's tough, but

are some work-arounds; if you mean 7.0, it's a _little_ easier.
Either way, see:

And to explain to your users why HTML mail is silly and how to fix it on a by-client basis, send them to:

I have been blocking plain text for some time and do not want to change this.
He, he...I like that typo. I assume you're blocking NON-plain text. (But it would be a hoot to see a list that REQUIRED web pages to be sent...)
Does anyone know of any work around for this? Maybe RTF->plain conversion?
RTF (Rich Text Format) and HTML are two entirely different things; what you're looking for is demime if you're going to clean multipart/alternitive or text/html mail on the server end. See:
http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html
...for more information.
Charlie (who doesn't run demime, instead expecting his subscribers to send plain text)
