The faq-server@rtfm.mit.edu service should do quite nicely for someone
who wants to post from an AOL account. The *.answers submission
guidelines list other software which can be used instead of using an
interactive news reader to post an FAQ, but those other pieces of
software usually will only work for users with Unix shell accounts
(this is albeit a generalization), whereas faq-server will work for
anyone which can send email to an Internet address and have control
over exactly what appears in the body of that email message. (Some
mail gateway software from proprietary mail systems to Internet email
insist on adding additional lines of text to the body of your message,
for example. Or some mail user agents, e.g., mail readers, insist on
MIME'ifying even straight ASCII text by default.)
