Wowsa! I love using Gmail, especially for list subscriptions – the conversation format of messages makes things so much easier to follow. But now, so as not to be undone by all of the other free email programs that are upping their limits following the beta release of Gmail, they have double their large 1 gig of space alloted, to 2 gigs of space – cool!
Oh, and just in case you don’t have Gmail and would like an invite – I have 50 of them available like everyone else 
Just ask.
