Observing what you have posted,  my best guess is that your subscriber
is sending his email in HTML which listserv doesn't grok,  and which you
don't see because the "mother knows best" mailer that you use is
rendering the HTML for you so you don't see that its HTML.

Tell your subscriber to configure his mailer to send plain text.  Most
can but some make it difficult.
