I use Outlook and am not receiving any junk from any of these posts. They
all come through clean, readable and free of garbage. How can you tell if
they are in HTML or plain text? I apologize to anyone who is not getting
this in an easily readable format. This one is supposed to be in plain text
and I wonder if it looks different from the one I sent earlier that was
unknowingly in HTML.

I know that having your HTML "on" slows down the list. Since this comes up
a lot, how do I know if my HTML is on? Can you tell by this Email if it is
on or off? I am on AOL and just read and send. Second, if it is on how do
I turn it off? Maybe the ones you are addressing this post to do not even
know it is on. :+)

With AOL, you cannot set HTML on or off and plain text on or off. AOL does
that for you.

Supposedly, if you use the default settings on font, size and color it is
sent in plain text on versions 6.0 and higher. If you change any of those
settings from the default settings then it sends it in HTML.

I say suposedly because there is no control or gaurantee with AOL. You are
simply at their mercy. The same mercy that dumps thousande of junk, spam
and illegal email on your desktop daily.

And now you know why I am leaving AOL this next week.

All their "talk" about controls, filters and other comments is all hollow
meaning without substaqnce. Some they are working on, some they are not and
most generate income for them. Income from advertizing is what drives the
media business, not subscription rates.

Although I have attempted to send this in plain text, I am sure it is going
out in HTML to some without my knowledge, consent or control.
