X = asc( mid( X, i))
if ((X >= asc("a") and (X <= asc("z")) then tempString =

tempString +
chr(X)
if ((X = asc(".") or (X = asc("?") or (X = asc("!") or (X = asc("

= <tab> ) then
tempString = tempString + chr(X)
end if
next
IncomingEmailText = tempString

I'm not sure what the above is supposed to do. The problem is that
your email has HTML tags embedded in it. And you can't just strip them
out. But if there is a plain-text version of your message, which there
is in your case, then the message could be mucked with to remove the
HTML part.
I don't know enough about various email quirks yet but I have a couple
of observations.
1. When I reply in Mail.app, all the HTML code disappears in the Reply
and appears as plain text.
2. I have also seen some AOL server mail that isn't Tiny.
Another question. Is it possible to use Mail.app in AOL instead of
their built in client?
Just curious,
Terry
