I got my copy of this message directly, before the forum copy arrived.
Checking the forums, I see that the forum copy got garbled:

Looking at my own copy, I see that you (Linda) used different font
sizes for different lines of code. I am not sure why you did that, but
being able to change font sizes is a symptom of the problem.
When I look at the raw message I received, I see that it's AOL mail
that is causing the problem. For people familiar with the MIME RFCs,
take a look at this:
------=_Part_31848_1514841127.1508773775101
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<p dir="ltr">[<span style="font-size:
16px;">]B=:(i:5)>:/_5+|i:5</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span
style="font-size: 16px;">(32 8{a.){~B</span></p><p dir="ltr">

</p><p dir="ltr">

In other words: AOL Mobile Mail is claiming that html markup is plain
text (which, obviously, it is not).
More bluntly, AOL is specifically being hostile to the kind of archive
which extracts plain text email messages.
I think the only solution here is to simply stop using AOL Mail.
Linda: you need to find an email app which supports plain text email
messages. Please?
