bart,
this is great info. I am doing it this way now..
<tip>Watch out for wordwrap when making text emails for AOL. If you are 
pasting test into a textarea, make sure wrap is set to soft</tip>

>The important distinction to make is that it will not make urls into links
>(like outlook), but will only read <a href="foo.htm">links</a>
