There are end-user setup options in the AOL client software related to whether or not it will try to recognize links in messages and show them as clickable or not.  Don't remember exact details offhand, but it's under the Preferences section in the Mail category.  If you have one particular subscriber you can work with to try things out, ask them if they ever see clickable links in any other email they receive at the same address used on your list.

So near, yet so far...  <sad face>  I told you I'd be back, but I didn't
expect to be back this soon.

In my beta test for my bottom banner, I'm getting consistent reports from
my AOL users that they are not seeing ANY of the links below as
clickable.  They are all coming across as simple plain text.

Here is my prototype bottom banner.

Am I doing something wrong?  Those links are clickable for everyone else
EXCEPT AOL.  Do I have to do anything special for them or is this just
(another) problem inherent to AOL?  Such a sorry system...

It's always somethin'...  I await your words of wisdom...

Thanks guys!
