A footnote on this.  Since this was first reported here a while back, 
I've had several folk claim this isn't true.  I've been told from several 
different sources that this will work:

----------------------------
For AOL email using Windows:

1. Make sure your font is set to Arial 10, the AOL default.

2. Create a message using only default Arial 10 type. Any
    quoted text pasted in from another message must also be
    in Arial 10 type (no bold, other sizes or colors). Note:
    if you paste a message that was received in HTML format,
    it will probably cause you to send in HTML.

3. Hit Control-A to highlight the entire message.

4. Right click anywhere in the message itself: A 'popup menu'
    will appear. Move the cursor to "text" and another menu
    will appear. Move the cursor to "normal" and click on it.

5. Send the message.
-------------------------------

Kind of a PITA, but that's _their_ problem, right? :o)
