MESSAGE BODIES. This is unacceptable!

those graphic ads.

Sorry, that doesn't affect anything unless you have emails delivered 
to you. I choose not to get dinged with emails, but go directly to 
the website to read the list. I can handle that they take up the top 
third of the screen with ads. But now they are taking 50% of the 
remaining space too! And for Wally World ads, at that! Not exactly 
their targeted demographic, are we?
