Hello:  A friend of mine sent me an email this afternoon advising she could
not get onto many of the lists due to an apparent configuration.  The list
she is trying to access is for iMac's.  She has a new iMac with OS 10.2 and
AOL for OS X as her internet and email provider.  When she tried to send
messages to this list, they were kicked back as the list says it will only
accept plain text messages.  Here is a copy of what the bounce said:
 
LIST module reports:
Your message cannot be posted.
It has the content-type: multipart / alternative, and this list accepts only
plain text

MIME-version: 1.0
Content-Type:  multipart / alternative;
X-Mailer:  AOL For Mac OSX sub 22

The bounce is showing her content type as "multipart/alternative".  She says
she thought she was transmitting in plain text.  She went into preferences
to see if she could change anything to "plain text" but there wasn't
anything to change.  Are there any OS 10.2 users out there who also happen
to have AOL and could tell me what I can do to help her out.  Is there a
setting that she needs to change in order to send in "plain text"?  Where
would she go to access that or make the change necessary? I'm a roadrunner
and I.E/O.E user and have no experience with AOL or 10.2.

Thanks for any help or ideas.
