Mann II | Titan Corporation | Good news for list users that use AOL as their provider. Apparently with AOL 9.0 Optimized users can now send plain test messages. > If you are using AOL 9.0 Optimized it is easy to draft and send messages in Plaintext format. First you open an email window and right click inside the message blank. A pop-up menu will appear and at the very bottom of the pop-up there is a "Compose as Plain Text" choice. Click on that option and you will see that the font attributes bar choices dims out. This takes away the ability to put any HTML codes, such as BOLD, ITALICS, font colors, back ground, and embedded graphics and such in the message. > To test this you can again right click in the message blank and the > pop-up will have "Compose as HTML" as the bottom choice. Click on that > choice and you will see that the font attributes bar lights back up > again. OK. Right click again and select "Compose as Plain Text" and > you can type and send your message to the NCVA list without upsetting > Bill. > The next time you open an email window it will automatically default > to the "Compose as HTML" mode, so you only have to change it if you want to draft and send a plaintext message. This procedure is only guaranteed to work in the latest release of AOL 9.0 Optimized. I do NOT know if this works in newer versions (later builds) of AOL 8.0 IMI 8.0 but it may as AOL sometimes sends new or updating code to subscribers who use older versions of AOL.
