Here's a message (below) from Mike Hyers that might help AOL users. I think the bottom line is "don't upgrade" to AOL 9.0. Also, don't forget that you can just use AOL as a connection to the web, from which you can access one of the free web-based email accounts, or spend a few bucks a year for a spam free web-based email account, which you could access through the AOL connection.
Personally, I have no use for AOL, and this is just one of the reasons. I hate the way it "takes over" a computer after it's loaded.

The older 8.0 never gave me a problem. On Oct 17th I upgraded to the new AOL 9.0 and immediately got dropped from the Corvaircraft list that day. The newer version as "intuitive" spam filtering that is a real pain in the a..... if it is turned on. I had to totally resubscribe to all the mailing list that I am on. Plus I have had to turn off all spam controls and just let everything hit my mailbox. You might want to let everyone else know that is what they will have to do in order to stay on the mailing list.
