To echo my previous posting, the simplist way to avoid the problem of AOL not being able to download larger messages properly is to get an account with an "Internet Service Provider" (ISP) as opposed to a "Commercial Provider" (COM) like AOL to send and receive Email. With an ISP, you can run "Eudora", in my opinion the best Email program around. See my previous posting "Internet Access: the best route (My opinion)" from January 1, 1996.
