This post is aimed at subscribers to the LML who are using AOL 6.0 as their 
primary email software.  I understand that the 6.0 version of the AOL 
software is supposed to be the latest and greatest.  This may be, but it 
has come to my attention that the ability to configure it to send emails in 
the plain-text mode is next to impossible.  As outlined in the LML's List 
Posting Guidelines, all posts sent to the LML must be sent in plain-text 
mode only, and therein lies the rub.  Many of you have been sending your 
posts to the LML after a considerable period of time using the forerunner 
to AOL 6.0 and have not had any problems at all with the plain text 
requirement.  The switch to 6.0 does not retain that particular preference, 
however, as in their infinite wisdom AOL has taken it upon themselves to 
dictate just what your email "preferences" will be, and that is for all of 
your email to be sent with styled text and HTML formatting.  Somehow that 
seems to contradict the basic definition of the word "preference", but that 
is a different matter entirely <G>.

At any rate, if you are using AOL 6.0 and you wish to submit a post to the 
LML _AND_ you have been as unsuccessful as everyone else at getting it to 
send emails in plain-text, please don't send it to the regular LML email 
address.  Instead, please send your LML postings directly to me at 
marvkaye@olsusa.com and I will remove all the garbage and resubmit them on 
your behalf.  This is really no big deal for me to do, AAMOF, it is far 
simpler and requires several less steps for me to reformat and resend an 
email than it is to go through the required routine when dealing with it on 
the listserver.  Treat it just as you would any other LML email (ie, use 
the "subject" box the same as always), just include the phrase "For LML" as 
a separate line at the beginning of the body of the post so I know its 
intended routing and I'll handle the rest.  Your cooperation in this matter 
will be greatly (make that _GREATLY!_) appreciated.  TIA......
