>From your link below, I found the solution.  Now I can  right click the

drop down menu.  If this works, we should see this post  I am sending to the 
O-list (so other users having similar problems can  try).  Thanks.

AOL  apparently makes it very difficult to send plain-text (non-html)

There may be other resources on the  web; certainly more than I know.

Good luck,
