Can I send stationery to an AOL user?

Yes, you can, but it takes a little manipulation.  The AOL user must have Internet Explorer installed in addition to AOL.     

Step One:  

Create your stationery.    Instead of hitting the Send button, File|Save AS   an .eml file, but name it with an .mht extension.      

     

Step Two:  

Zip the .mht WinZip can be downloaded here:  http://www.winzip.com/download.htm

Step Three:  

Send the Zip file as an attachment in a plain text message. 

   

Information for the AOL user:

The file can only be viewed using the desktop browser.  You can NOT see it in any part of AOL at all.  Log onto AOL as you normally do and then minimize the AOL program.Next, click on the BLUE e for the desktop browser, click on FILE and then OPEN.It will bring up a dialog box where you can BROWSE to the location of the downloaded file.   ONLY IE can see the file.  And NOT the built in IE in AOL, only the desktop Internet Explorer which is part of Windows.
