Grant,

I don't know of a way to change that, but seeing this is just a test, how
about another method of testing?

If you set up an email client to duplicate the settings used by the list,
and send a message to the AOL person, would that not be enough to tell? How
about a telnet session to one of the AOL servers, to simulate the list
sending to this user?

I've not tried either (yet), but bet we can find someone here or figure out,
what would be needed in the telnet session. I know how to do simple email
message and have not experimented much with what is actually sent after the
DATA statement, but know that if I type:
subject: This is the subject

That is what appears in the subject line. So one would think that another
line:
precedence: bulk

could be added to see if that does what I expect and you need to figure out.

It certainly does sound like a filter of some kind at the AOL end. I wonder
if it is a users setting or a server setting?

Here is the email I just sent myself via telnet, that had the above
suggested line:

Does this look like what you see (it even put in the typo I made, pred:
123)? You want to try one of the AOL hosts and your user?
