This is a web issue, not a mailing list issue.

You are using the format:

     mailto:address@host?body=body text

This is not supported by many web browsers, including AOL's. I would 
suggest you avoid using features that are only limited to a small subset 
of users. I even don't recommend using ?subject, which is at least more 
widely supported than ?body.
