Hi Everyone,
If you are a V 6.00 AOL user and are having problems with your mail to the
list this is what you should do:
I found on the rootsweb site what to do. It is a bit involved but here goes.
Compile your E Mail
Right click inside the text box
Left Click on to Select All (At the bottom of the menu)
Right click in the text box again
Left click Text
Left click Normal
Send the E Mail in the usual way.
It seems to work - but what a nuisance having to do it each time!
Rootsweb say " In response to our questions, AOL responded with the following
suggstions (abbreviated here)"
aol IS AWARE OF SOME ISSUES RAISED BY MAILING LIST (listserv) OWNERS AND
POSTMASTERS WHOSE SYSTEMS DO NOT ACCEPT RICHLY FORMATTED HTML E-MAIL. AOL
MEMBER SERVICES IS CURRENTLY COLLATING THE DATA ON THIS ISSUE.
In the meantime, the following alternative methods are available to send
plain text only by e mail to Internet addresses that reject rich formatting.
When authorising e-mail in AOL version 6.0, remove all formatting from the
body of the message and send the message in the AOL 6.0 default of Ariel,
size 10 and do not include any bold/italics/underline, colors or other styles.
Use AOL Mail on the Web located at the site below:
http://www.aol.com
You can send e-mail from AOL, Mail on the Web to Internet addresses that
reject formatting because AOL Mail on the Web sends mail as plain text only".
Here endeth the lesson according to Rootsweb!
I will post this to the list so all can see.
Good luck & Best wishes
Tricia
