It always says Service Default.

What that means is, either the default type set for that account (via the 
account setup Options tab), or the default/only type allowed for the 
service being used (in the case of AOL which needs its own type. Possible 
RadioMail, CompuServe or others might have also had their own type at one 
point).


The reason it doesn't say Service Default when you use the iPhoto to 
Emailer thing, is because in the script that creates the email, I 
specifically told it to use Base64. This was to get around Windows idiots 
that can't understand how to ignore the Mac half of AppleDouble (they get 
so freaked out when they see the extra attachment that they can't do 
anything with. They all get that way. They just can't ignore it. They 
have some compulsion to try to open it every time, and then get upset 
when it is just junk. They seem convinced that it must be a damaged 
attachment that really contains the directions for world peace or 
something equally as life altering).

So because the script tells Emailer to use Base64, that is what shows up 
instead of Service Default. Since you want to send this using AOL, you 
will want to remove that bit from the script, so it goes back to using 
"Service Default". Otherwise you will have to manually change it back 
each time.
