Why is Big Planet's e-Mail system different than AOL?

Description:
I heard that Big Planet had superior e-mail services compared to other well known national providers like AOL.  Can you show me an example of exactly what they mean? 
Solution:Mail us your questions here (Updated 6/1/99)
Depending on your Internet Access Provider, you may or may not be able to receive graphical images and links in your e-mail.  Services such as Compuserve and America Online have limitations on the types and content of mail - especially on HTML mail sent from outside of their own system.  Many users of these systems don't really know what their missing if they haven't seen a feature rich e-mail service like that of Big Planet.  Big Planet places no restrictions on how you view your mail.  If someone wants to send you a web page as an attachment, you see it in your e-mail.  Document attachments and graphical content is what makes e-mail so valuable.  A professional using e-mail for business needs to know how valuable a great e-mail service can be.
