Tried it, and my ISP says it probably isn't spam:

X-Spam-Report:  Content analysis details:   (score = -1.60, score threshold = 5)
  BAYES_30           (-1.6 points) BODY: Bayesian classifier says spam probability is 30 to 40%
  [score: 0.3935]

Not sure why AOL would reject it.

Some possible trouble spots that I've seen in other messages are the 
language "someone (possibly you)" and the URL with an  identifier that 
looks like an MD5 hash.

If you really want figure out what's going on, and you have some willing 
students with AOL accounts, you could try tweaking both of those to see 
if the messages go through without them.
