it's list members *trying* to be nice to aol users. supposedly html within
a plain-text email message will try to render in the aol mail reader.
considering the downsides*, i'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
*downsides
- takes longer to produce sample code
- takes longer to convert sample code from
the list to usable code for testing purposes
- what percentage of our users have aol
accounts and actually encounter this problem
that this supposedly solves?
thanks,
