All hands contemplating upgrading to AOL 6.0 DON'T. All AOL 6.0 e-mail contains HTML and the TWL server has a filter which rejects all such e-mail. I had no idea that I was shifting to HTML e-mail when I upgraded and the only way I found out was a kind note from Frank Lawlor. Three different Tech Support people at AOL have assured me that there is no way to keep HTML out of AOL 6.0 e-mail. The only solution, if one wants to post to TWL with AOL e-mail is to downgrade back to AOL 5.0 which I have done. However, in doing so, you lose your Address Book since in going to 6.0 it migrated to the AOL server and can't be brought back. Loss of posting on privileges to TWL is the only reason I need to not upgrade to AOL 6.0. I only wish I had known before I upgraded. Don't make the same mistake and please, no lectures about AOL. I only keep it to keep a long time e-mail address. Jim (Jim & Mim McCrea, mcc272@aol.com Headwater V-20 "Sandpiper" and Nordic Tug 32-154 "North Star")
