[Mailman-Users] AOL User Posts and =20 Problem

[WeRBikers at aol.com]

Perhaps this has been discussed before, but I find no answer in the FAQ or in 
the GNU List Manangement Guide for v2.0 ... my apologies if this is 
repetitious. This pertains to version 2.0 of Mailman as implemented on pair 
Networks www.pairlist.net -- I have pursued emails to pair support to no 
solution, as have my posts to the pairList specific newsgroup.

When an AOL user ... versions 4,5, and 6 inclusive, posts to a pairList the 
immediate postings are delivered and appear normal to those users receiving 
in MIME or plain text formats. The digest formats are quite screwed up in 
that they show the AOL members' posts with =20 strings at the end of each 
line, then a repeat of the entire post with some HTML tags visible. I know 
AOL's email interpretation of HTML is half-assed at best, but this is not 
tolerable in its present form. These quirks hold true regardless of the 
setting for a given member receiving the Digest format in MIME or plain text. 
AOL users are not given the choice of sending plain text vs. HTML email. It 
sends in pseudo-HTML by default and this is unchangeable. The vast majority 
of subscribers to my particular list are AOL members, so this is quite a 
problem.

Anyone have a solution?

Regards,
Daniel
