AOL not accepting attachments

[fatboyjim]

Just tried to send a friend on AOL some pictures in .jpg format, I got a mail back from the mailerdaemon@aol.com telling me that their username is not accepting attachments or embedded images

I guess this is some kind of idiotic 'safety' feature, they are not amazingly computer literate and thank God I don't have AOL to test it on so I don't know how to turn on attachments for them

Do you?

Thanks,

A friend of mine's mother had the problem -- it's deep within the nethereaches of AOL's preferences and settings. Somthing like "AOL Mail accepts attachments from other AOL users and users across the Internet.....yada yada yada". Basically the setting allowed the user to control if they got attachements just from within AOL or from other domains.

I don't recall how we found it, but it took a while.
