I might have asked whether that was the case, but for future reference,
the change didn't really trigger any "must give Theo crap" impulses.

Hmmm... do people use SpamAssassin on AOL email?

On http://postmaster.aol.com/guidelines/html.html it says that using the
MIME Type text/x-aol that AOL 5.0 AOL can read the following "RTF"
formatting.

    BREAK: BR
    FONT: FONT
    BOLD: B
    ITALICS: I
    UNDERLINE: U
    SUBSCRIPT: SUB
    SUPERSCRIPT: SUP
    BIG: BIG
    SMALL: SMALL
    HEADER: H1, H2, H3
    PARAGRAPH: P
    BODY: BODY
    HYPERLINK: A
    CENTER: CENTER
    STRONG: STRONG

Versions of AOL greater than AOL 6.0 can apparently read text/html.  AOL
5.0 is pretty ancient, so I'm not sure whether we should bother
rendering the x-aol part of "text, text/x-aol" as HTML or not.  The
other cases, I agree that we should just ignore it -- it seems like an
old newsletter "optimization" for AOL 5.0 people.
