Does anyone know what the trick is to properly format posts to this list? I've recently upgraded (?) to AOL 9.0 and ever since my posts have been coming up on the list all chopped up and without the spacing I intended. I have tried putting it in both Microsoft Works and Word to see if that might go around whatever AOL is doing to it, but it doesn't seem to help. Any thoughts?
