Delivery rates are very fluid. What might be missing one day
might come thru the next. Our most recent tests of delivery
at getresponse on 6/25/04 show AOL delivering to the inbox,
but missing 100% of mail to:

earthlink.net
excite.com
mac.com
netzero.com
sbcglobal.net
usa.net
verizon.net
yahoo.com
netscape.net 90% missing, 10% inbox.

I strongly recommend you aquire addresses and test the
delivery at ISP's that are important to your business.

Please contact help@aweber.com so we can better outline what
you are specifically looking to do.

> Which format has the high opening rate? HTML or plain text?

It's impossible to track the open rate of plain text messages
on any system anywhere in the world. Based on that it would
be impossible to determine which actually has a better open
rate. Our general recommendation is that customers send plain
text. HTML tends to be filtered signficantly more heavily
and the vast majority of HTML messages look really, really bad.
