You are assuming that Google would accept placing AdSense banners in all newsletters. I think a previous evaluation would be required as for accepting publishers in AdSense in general.

Google's acceptance standards are minimal, or at least they have been in the past. And once publishers are in the network, they can use their AdSense code on any site (even if it violates AdSense's program policies) until they get caught.

It's possible, of course, that Google would limit the e-mail use of AdWords to major corporate partners, but that wouldn't prevent "AdWords spam: It would simply limit such spam to high-volume mailers.
