Hiya all
Well, to try to get to the bottom of this AOL forwarded messages arriving
as attachments to non AOL users, I just had a chat with AOL Tech Support. See
below.

Hello, mjh. Welcome to Live Technical Support. My name is Axle.
Foxhillers stated the question or problem as: Do email messages sent to
someone using the FORWARD function get sent as attachments to those NOT AOL
subscribers?.
Are you contacting us about the computer you are using? You said: yes.
AOLTechAVL: Pleased to meet you, Mjh.
Foxhillers: Hiya Axle
AOLTechAVL: With regards to your question, I am not sure about the other ISP
but as far as I am concern they will appear only as a normal email not an
attachment.
Foxhillers: I am on a Tech group where many report that Forwards from their
AOL friends come as attachments.
AOLTechAVL: Are there any links on the email they are forwarding?
Foxhillers: I do not know, why would that make a difference?
AOLTechAVL: Yes, sometimes other ISP's detect the links on the email as an
embedded or attachment.
AOLTechAVL: such as on yahoo.
Foxhillers: So, then, in those instances, the Forwarded email WOULD/COULD be
received by a non AOL user as an attachment.
AOLTechAVL: I am not familiar with other email server, but I am sure that is
the cause of the problem.
Foxhillers: Thanks, Axle. Bye
AOLTechAVL: You're most welcome. Please feel free to come back here anytime
you have a question or concern regarding the AOL software and its service. :-)
