AOL "filters"

Actually there is less to this whole thing than it would seem. AOL has promised to still work with legitimate mailers (newsletters, e-commerce companies, etc.) to allow e-mails to reach subscribers for free. This new system basically ensures that the paying mailers e-mail can be viewed with graphics intact and with clickable links.

If AOL had an impeccable record of delivering email to AOL customers, I'd say Go For It. However, AOL is absolutely the last ISP who should be breaking this ground. Their casual attitude toward delivering other people's email suggest they should step away from this. They have much to be humble about.
