A ring R is said to be an AE-ring if every endomorphism of its additive group R+ is a ring endomorphism. Clearly, the zero ring on any abelian group is an AE-ring. In a recent article, Birkenmeier and Heatherly characterised the so-called standard AE-lings, that is, the non-trivial AE-rings whose maximal 2-subgroup is a direct summand. The present article demonstrates the existence of non-standard AE-rings. Four questions posed by Birkenmeier and Heatherly are answered in the negative.
