   What HTML are you seeing? I never get any when I use AOL 6, but I don't 
   use any unusual fonts or formatting. That may be the culprit.

I just got email from a friend of mine using AOL 6.0 who swears it's not
HTML mail and comes through fine when she mails to her non-AOL account.  So
it must be fairly minimal HTML.  But trust me it is HTML.  Here's a copy.
I removed identifying info and munged the command <HTML>.
