This is a very nice find, I however haven't implemented this in any emails, but instead use it for regular design work. The reason is that if you see any "56k-er's" browsing your site that there is a good chance that they either have images turned off, or maybe have some sort of accelerator (in which case they should turn images off, as the accelerator makes images look horrible).

I think it just makes a site more accessible for those who don't have the priviledge of broadband.

I always thought thats what the alt attribute was for ;)

However I can see the merit behind this as it does present something more attractive.
