We had a problem on the mail server. I'm not sure if this mail was sent corrently, so I'm resending it. Sorry if you get it twice. If anyone else sent a mail to the list in the last few hours, please check the archives and resend if it's not there.

I looked at some of my emails to this mailing list, and I found the following HTML tags: a few standard tags at the front to establish that it was an HTML message, and to start the body. A BR tag at the end of each line in the body of the text, and some DIV tags where I skipped lines.
Then I looked at your email, this one where you complained that I was using HTML. I found the following HTML tags: a few standard tags at the front to establish that it was an HTML message, and to start the body. A BR tag at the end of each line in the body of the text. The only difference was that there were no DIV tags. However, there was still pretty much one tag for every line in the file.
Then your mailer mangles received messages as well, i.e. shows them as HTML though they're plain-text. It may be in AOL's agenda trying to turn all email to HTML, but it's still wrong and stupid. Please get rid of AOL and get a real mailer!
Now that the mailing list archives are back, you can see for yourself how the mails really look like (see "Unformatted/full headers"). E.g., that's your mail:

And that's a plain text mail:
http://www.gnu-pascal.de/crystal/gpc/en/raw-mail12479.html
Have you looked at the hints Emil gave you? Why not?
