This is how the header and the very beginning of your message
appears (quoted to avoid line wrap):

Notice the header lines specifying MIME-Version: 1.0 and
Content-Type.  This means you are transmitting a mime-encoded
attachment.  Following is a clipping from another message on the
list, taken more or less at random, and notice the Content-Type:
heading and Content-Transfer-Encoding: header.  I have no idea what
mailer you are using (9.0 for Windows etc.. ??) but he is using
ELM, which is a proper mailer.  My mailer has been told to reject
all those dangerous encodings, so I have to go through funny
gyrations to see what I have just shown you.

You can look up the standards, including RFCs 2822, 2045, 2046, and
2047 (I think).

Now fix your system before sending anything further here.  Please. 
It may require getting a standards compliant mailer.  I realize you
are using the worlds worst ISP in AOL, but that was your choice.
