[thelist] AOL email problems

Hello,

I wrote a perl application that sends an HTML email to an AOL account. As I
attempt to view the email in AOL, it seems as if AOL parsed and added the
following line

Original line of code:
----------------------

<IMG src="http://www.mywebsite.org/images/spacer.gif" width=1 height=1>

Parsed / Viewed line of code:
-------------------------------

<IMG src="http://www.mywebsite.org/images/spacer.gif" width=1 height=1><A
HREF="http://www.mywebsite.org/images/spacer.gif">http://www.www.mywebsite.o
rg/images/spacer.gif</A>


Sending the HTML email from Outlook Express works perfectly.

The perl program utilizes Mime::Lite to send the mail:

			$msg = MIME::Lite->new(
				From     => $From,
				To 	 => $To,
				Subject  => $Subject,
				Reply-To => $Reply,
				Type     => 'multipart/related'
				);
			$msg->attach(Type => 'text/html',
				Data 	=> $message_data
				);


Any ideas?

Roy
