Oh. Heck, that's easy. Howabout:

:0 B
* ^Received:.*aol.com
/dev/null

This should grep the body for a line saying it's been received from
aol.com, and then if it finds it, dumps it in the bit bucket. 

Are you sure you want to grep the body and not the headers?

I've never seen one of these aol messages, so I'm not sure if the
above will do what you want.
