AOL 6.0 for Windows Ban
Since AOL's 6.0 version refused to offer members an option to turn off HTML email in the software, it is officially banned from use on ANY Triad Weyrs list, or for coposting with Triad Weyrs members. Anyone who persists in using AOL 6.0 or newer for Triad Weyrs will find his/her membership suspended.
HTML email messes up regular email programs, making coposters have to reformat, if they can reply properly at all. There is no need for colored fonts and huge lettering or any other HTML format in email outside of AOL itself. It also makes emails larger and bulkier, which is utterly unfair to members with small mailbox sizes.
More importantly, it strips our legalese off the list, and that will not be tolerated.
If you have a ranking persona in Triad Weyrs, you'll be given an option of switching to a triadweyrs.org address.
Another alternative is to use AOL's webmail at AOL.com, which is the only way according to the AOL technician I spoke with to send non-HTML email. You can also get a free email address from Yahoo or Hotmail, both fairly reliable.
Please regard this as a courtesy to non AOL members, and plan your email usage accordingly. We tried to simply ask members to adjust their AOL usage voluntarily, but it was not successful and some members persisted in posting with HTML email.
