This morning was the last straw for me with AOL webmail, I had to do something
about their absolutely pathetic webmail formatting. They are such a pox upon
the internet...

I hacked the list processor to convert and use the HTML portion of AOL webmail
posts instead of their munged plain text parts so that we don't end up with
all those darned extraneous question marks all over the place. The resulting
text still ends up with tons of useless blank lines in it, which I redcuced as
much as is practical within the limitations of being able to predict when a
blank line is actually desired. Quoted text (>) was easy to determine as there
should really never be an empty line between two lines that both start with a
">" character. It converts Paul's message (quoted at the bottom of this 
message) to read like this now:

>>>>>
 thanks Ron.  It looked like there was still some meat to the story.

It's only a few words, naming people. I'll dig it out later..

Not perfect, but I think it is a big improvement. Once again, AOL costs me a
couple hours of my life. I hope it doesn't screw up any normal list posts!

If you are an AOL customer, please consider switching to any possible
alternative for service.
