Comparing what showed up on the list server vs. your message sent directly, you are NOT using the standard quoting convention.

HTML is bad in email, especially list servers, unless done with explicit prior agreement of all parties. http://www.expita.com/nomime.html That page has info on how to potentially correct AOL's error: http://www.expita.com/nomime.html#aol9 |
