[X4U] Mail chokes on AOL emails?

[Scott McCulloch]

I just took a look at the Apple discussion boards... looks like it has 
to do with people sending from the Windows AOL *Optimized* version.

There was no other "fix" or workaround for this mentioned (that I've 
found) other than either composing a new email with your reply (as you 
do), or changing the message view to the plain text alternative (which 
I do).
