Sorry for being unclear!
I was actually hoping for read-only access to the 
NC list *by mail*: 
-- I am (like many others) interested in *reading* the 
   discussions taking place on the NC list
-- I am (like most) not allowed (and not interested) in
   *posting* messages to the NC list.
-- Currently, I can only read the Web archive, and Web
   archives (whatever program is used) are less practical
   than mailing list access by mail.
-- My proposal was to grant read-only access *by mail*:
   Allow people to subscribe to council@dnso.org (or
   council-monitor@dnso.org) so that they get all the
   NC list messages by mail, but are not able to disturb
   the discussions.

I don't particularly care about whether the NC list is
in digest format or not: Currently, I cannot subscribe
to it anyway. That's why I would like this to change,
since it is much easier to follow a list by mail than
by Web archives.

As far as I understand, no additional software would be
needed, since a similar option is already offered for the 
GA list (called ga-monitor@dnso.org).

Thanks and best regards,
/// Alexander
