I found this timeline for AOL's implementation of Goodmail at 
http://weblogs.jupiterresearch.com/analysts/daniels/archives/2006/01/aol_phases_out.html

=============================
For those interested in the details, AOL's time line for phasing out the 
Enhanced Whitelist is as follows.
* On April 3, 2006, AOL will change the qualification criteria for the 
Enhanced Whitelist by lowering the complaint threshold to an extent that 
will significantly reduce the number of IP addresses included in the 
program.
* On June 30, 2006, AOL will terminate Enhanced Whitelist privileges. This 
change will disable links and images by default from all non-certified 
bulk email viewed from AOL 9.0, AOL webmail and all subsequent client 
releases. As always, links and images can be enabled by the end user on a 
message-by-message basis. 
=============================

Also, regarding Yahoo, it appears that they are already on board according 
to this press release from last October...
http://www.goodmailsystems.com/news/pressrelease102605.php

I'm a little fuzzy on the details of how this is supposed to work, 
though...

--"Disable links":  does that mean you can see the links in non-certified 
mail but they won't be 'clickable'?
--"Bulk email":  what number of messages would be considered bulk?
--Does -all- non-certified mail go directly to the spam folder or does 
this just affect the 'non-certified bulk' email?
--Has anyone on AOL's Enhanced Whitelist received any information directly 
from AOL about this, especially given the change in 'qualification 
criteria' on April 3?

If it were a hoax, AOL would already have issued a press release, and the
news would not be linked from Goodmail's web site. But I do find it 
amusing
that there are people at AOL who genuinely believe the news to be a hoax 
:-)
