I think you have it backwards TJ. We and majordomo can send "TO" AOL users
just fine and dandy. It is them sending to "US" that gets all convaluted.
We and majordomo want our mail to be formatted in PLAIN/TEXT so we can read
it without a web browser. Sending HTML to AO Lusers is trivial. Getting
them to send NON-HTML or Content-Type: text/plain email is nearly impossible.
