A brief read of the (Not_so)Goodmail site indicates it will only affect 
high volume message with graphics embedded in the mail (for now). Probably 
wont affect me too much as our lists are small -- only a few over 200 
subscribers, and not too many are on AOL.

To me, this is a good argument for making email plain text only again. 
Maybe I should just change my name to Ned Ludd! :)
