Reposting what I wrote in another thread:

As has been noted here many times, posting to the list using Gmail or
AOL will result in gibberish for some recipients if the email is sent
in rich-text instead of plain-text and there are URLs in the body of
the email (as is the case here). So make sure to compose your posts to
ADS-L using the plain formatting option in Gmail or AOL.
