AOL attaches large digests to the message and the only way you can view them is
to download the file and use a text editor of some sort -- somewhat confusing
to novice computer users.  Really anoying if you get more than one from a list
and then you have to rename each file.  Flash sessions will simply not download
the mail, rather that serializing the names during download.  If theAOL
software finds a previous file with the same name as the file it is trying to
download, it doesn't.  And it lists a totally vague message in the flash
session dialoge box.
