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… -- Ernie P.
