Nope ... AOL 6.0 sends all mail as HTML. Period. Mind you, my original guess 
was that the above would be right, but it isn't.

Also note than in 5.0 everything is converted to ASCII. The signature line 
that follows appears in CompuServe as 8 point, in italics, and in a different 
color to clearly set it off from the rest of the message. When this goes out 
to the net, it'll all be plain text.
