Not practical. AOL offers a lower "bring your own connection" rate for people who want to keep the app and the email, but have broadband access through another provider. As I understand it, AOL's built-in browser is still routed through AOL's network and proxies, but traffic from a third-party browser -- IE launched from the desktop, or Firefox, or Opera -- still goes through the normal connection.
It's entirely reasonable for an AOL customer to not even be signed into AOL at the time that they request your newsletter.
That doesn't even get into people using an internet cafe while on the road, or connecting from work on their lunch break (if the office allows general web access, anyway), and so on.
