The list wont take it, period. I've been there, done that. I am talking about a problem I've seen since my days in the Quadlist 5-6 years ago. There are some characters like this one � or this one � that AOL treat as "utf-8" characters instead of text. How can you explain why you can't see html emails on AOL and you can't see links that can normally be seen with other email programs? Have you ever gotten an email saying please click here, then below it "AOL users please use this link" and there is a clickable link? AOL handles their email messages differently, that's a fact. My proof is here this message didn't bounce. Not only that if you download a picture, graphic, or such file in AOL it is usually downloaded with AOL's specificaltion as well and unless you convert it from another program it stays like that and can only be opened from AOL. Other files apply but I ran out of ideas can't remember now. Liliana -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
