I was just reading all of AOL Help on " image challenging". "Why do I have to take the image challenge multiple times? If youâÂÂre prompted to retake the image challenge multiple times a day and arenâÂÂt able to send emails even after you clear your cache and cookies, you might have a more serious issue: A worm or virus might have infected your computer. First, we recommend you perform some basic computer hygiene, starting with running a virus scan. For downloads of reliable antivirus software, visit AOL Internet Security Central. If the virus scan comes back clean but you still donâÂÂt pass the image challenge, check when your antivirus software was last updated. If it hasnâÂÂt been updated within the past 29 days, try updating the software again. If youâÂÂre not able to update the software, contact your softwareâÂÂs vendor for further support. Next, we strongly recommend you reset the password for your AOL account to maintain the privacy and security of your account. A virus isnâÂÂt the only reason you might have to take multiple image challenges. If you frequently send emails to a lot of people at the same time, you might be asked to pass the image challenge more than once. ItâÂÂs also possible AOL received spam complaints from people receiving your emails. (Maybe you sent one too many pictures of cute kittens?) We encourage you to send emails only to recipients who confirmed they want to receive your emails. You can do this by asking your recipients individually and confirming he or she would like to remain on your mailing list."

html will allow pictures and attachments to be added to your email, if you choose text only it will block everything but the text or written part. The safest is text only that way you don't have to worry about getting much infection type stuff coming through, but it will keep you from seeing pictures, you can set it that way then if you want to see something depending on your email client you you could click to allow on that specific email. some people discard HTML messages automatically. Others consider the use of HTML in the email as a sign of unsolicited email. In other cases, the user accesses his email through devices that cannot properly show the HTML message. The safest way to insure that your message is to be seen by the recipient, is to encode it so it is easier to read. This implies the use of plain text.

If you select, HTML: The email file will be in the HTMP (hyper text markup Protocol) language. Both text and graphics can be displayed. MicroSoft Word can handle these files. However, you may encounter a correspondent or two whose browser can not display HTML and all he will see is a page full of gibberish. If you select Text: The email message will be a text-only file and no graphics. This is the most simple of the file formats and uses the least storge space. All formatting will be lost except for line feeds, carrage returns and maybe backspaces. The only characters available are the standard ones on the keyboard. Years a go, this was called an ASCII file. If you choose HTML and TEXT: The file will be sent in both formats. If you are using Mozilla's ThunderBird, there is a feature in one of the drop-down menus to set this option to your choosing. You may set to text only, HTML only, Both, or keep the default which asks which option you want.

Already figured it out!
