You know how you prevent all those forwards being nested inside each other?
On AOL or any network? Very simple. Once you actually see the
file/attachment/or whatever, save it to your desktop (or wherever) and then
make a whole new email with that attachment in there, as opposed to just
hitting FORWARD and sending.

If anyone has info on how AOL users can work around the forwards, could they
give us a tutorial so we can forward it on to those AOL users who do
forwards all the time??
I really should just stop sending to those who use AOL and tell them to take
me off their list.
I keep thinking there must be a way to get it fixed.
