Well, from the minute he said the general MOPO problems were cleared up,
I've started receiving the MOPO messages as normal, even though I am indeed
still an AOL user. I see no continuing problem with AOL users receiving
MOPO messages.

I don't know about the "messages getting through" issue
that others have spoken of here but for those of us who
sometimes need to send attachments to other people,
AOL is a nightmare. From AOL user to AOL user,
sending them is no problem. From a non-AOL user to
one who is, files are not infrequently corrupted on their
journey. And it's impossible to send more than one
attachment to the same message. Unfailingly, the two
(or more) attachments will be mangled and useless
when they arrive. Each attachment *must* be sent with
a separate message. Then, most of the time, they'll
each survive. But combined, never.
