Yeah, with AOL you have to copy the message and paste it into Notepad to see
the ASCII.

You could REALLY use any, except Outlook Express. OE has some big problems, and it
almost seems that they don't want you to view it correctly =). I suggest either
Netscape Navigator's (with the font set to a fixed width one), or Agent (what I'm
using). Agent is some cool mail and news software.

Just about anything should do fine - except AOL's news reader and
Outlook Express 4 or 5.
