understood, but some of the other comments were simply more fo the 
"if it's AOL, it's bad".

Unfortunately, though, from what I can tell, AOL hasn't broken any 
RFCs, and it comes down to "they do it one way, the program does it 
another, and they aren't compatible", and it sure is bad when that 
happens and you're in the middle -- but it doesn't necessarily mean 
*either* side is wrong. Compatibility issues in email are a fact of 
life, for better and worse.

it's unfortunate, but I'm just not sure there's a villian here. Just 
unfortunate circumstances.
