FYI:
How to send plain text from AOL V6.0:
=====================================
1. Make sure your font is set to Arial 10, the AOL default.
2. Create a message using only default Arial 10 type. Any
quoted text pasted in from another message must also be
in Arial 10 type (no bold, other sizes or colors). Note:
if you paste a message that was received in HTML format,
it will probably cause you to send in HTML.
3. Hit Control-A to highlight the entire message.
4. Right click anywhere in the message itself: A 'popup menu'
will appear. Move the cursor to "text" and another menu
will appear. Move the cursor to "normal" and click on it.
5. Send the message.
======================================
I don't think even AOL knows how to do this.
This has been tested at length and apparently is relatively
easy to accomplish in AOL 6.0. Of course AOL "updates" their
users software on line without the users knowledge, so this
fix could be removed by AOL at any time.
Attempts to communicate with AOL result in boilerplate messages
that "apologize for the inconvenience" and suggest fixes that
don't work.
