Apparently Yahoo and AOL might be enforcing a tax on emails to stop spam...

Quite stupid if you ask me

Some articles here:

http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/software/aolyahoo-email-tax-to-stop-spam-why-it-wont-work-152917.php

And here I think is a site that clears up some possible misunderstanding

EDIT: Wow, Ryan, I posted a lot of that snopes article you linked to. XD;; I'll take it all out though, seeing as how you've got it covered.

Why did I fall for their extra gig of space? T_T
I delete my emails anyways.
