> Wouldn't AOL have that information? Since we are talking about AOL, I give the odds at around 50% that they might. Of course, that doesn't solve my problem since I am not an AOL customer and don't have access to an account using AOL 5.0. I have a couple of posters to a list that are mime-encoding messages and need instructions to send to them as to how to go about turning off the mime-encoding. Another possibily I am still tracking is I "think" AOL allows for external email clients now, but that isn't encoded in the header information so still trying to clarify if that might be the case.
