Hi Billy,

There's actually several different issues here. We should probably talk through 
them to figure out which is the most urgent to change:

* Your ISP

* Your actual email hosting service

* Your email client

* The domain people use to send you email

Right now, it seems like you use AOL for all four.

For the record, I was not even aware there *is* such a thing as the "AOL Email 
format".   Most modern email clients don't do any funky wrapping.

Maybe that's why all your emails to me look so strange…
