The original message has been quoted below, including a meaningless attribution to "LISTSERV@GERRY.VANAGON.COM," no quoted text in the original, and your signature. If you don't properly attribute messages, trim them, and do not use the standard convention of quoting the message you are responding to (">" in first column of quoted text) to make it clear who is speaking, then such confusion is bound to continue. The AOL client should support that.
