Our chamber music society has a lot of AOL users. I've noticed that
e-mails from (all?) the AOL users who e-mail me seem to have the
following in common:
1. Our AOL using memberts' messages are time tagged with the
abbreviation for their time zone, rather than with their time zone's
offset from UTC (which I thought was the standard way of doing
things). For example:
"Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 20:09:13 EST"
rather than the hoped for
"Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 20:09:13 -0500" or
"Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 20:09:13 -0500 (EST)"
2. My AOL-using correspondents' messages do not have their names on
the From: line, e.g. John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, but seem instead to
have only [EMAIL PROTECTED] on the From: line.
These "AOL anomalies" cause hiccups in the automatic processing of
replies to our meeting reminder e-mail. My first thought is to try to
educate the AOL using members.
Does anyone know if the problem is with AOL, or with the AOL users?
Can someone give me a URL for AOL's e-mail setup instructions, or
possibly send me a copy of AOL's e-mail setup document?
