I think it's a safe assumption that such a message never leaves AOL - why
would it? That's how internal e-mail is implemented, I dare not say
everywhere because someone will prove me wrong, but almost everywhere. So it
seems safe to assume that, no, they aren't going to pay to talk to
themselves.

So far, I have seen no indication that AOL is going to purchase any stamps
at all from Goodmail, so the answer would be no, but it is a very
interesting question nonetheless. Will Goodmail customers have to pay to
write to each other? I don't know the answer to that, and cannot figure it
out from their web site.
