Don't confuse "carrier" with "dial tone".  Carrier is the bearer signal 
that supports the data transfer.  Dial tone is the sound used to 
indicate a usable telephone line.  The "X3" command tells the 
modem to ignore dial tone.  It has no bearing on the carrier.

If your problem is "NO CARRIER", I would suggest that your modem 
is in someway incompatable with the answering modem.  Check that 
the self-same modem is capable of initiating and maintaining a 
connection using another machine or operating system, the modem 
may be broken.  If the modem can work with another machine or 
operating system, I suggest you inspect the modem set-up string for 
problems.

Not everyone  uses  mail  readers  that can  easily  display  HTML  
messages.  Consequently,  you will  reach a larger audience if you 
post your messages  in plain-text.  Many people simply ignore 
HTML messages,  because it takes a nontrivial amount of effort 
to read them.
