I was surprised to find that with AOL set as my "Default Email Reader" in my System Preferences, that I can use Address Book to address and compose mail to be sent throuigh AOL, however, the address gets changed when it is inserted into AOL. For example, an address of "mary@aol.com" gets changed to "mary%3Cmary@aol.com%3E". When I go ahead and send the email, it seems to go through, but does not get delivered to the AOL address, is not recognized as an AOL email address, and gets bounced back as not deliverable. Is there any way to fix it changing the address? I would love to be able to have Address Book as my only address book, rather than maintaining a separate one for AOL.

By the way, I'm having to switch back to using AOL as my main email program because of Mail's annoying MIME-ing of attachments.
