Thanks for your explanation of AOL's weird mail.
It definitely annoys me when I receive mail from aol accounts. I have
a macro in xemacs (my mail reader) that tries (!) to change suspicious
question marks to spaces so that I can read it more easily. I note
that some question marks appear in the middle?of a sentence, and I
know not why, since that doesn't involve two periods at the *end* of a
sentence.
