Re: [nc-intake] NC read-only list access by mail

[Vany Martinez <vany_martinez@yahoo.com>]

Hi Alexander and all:

Now I understand.  I though that you said that it was
difficult to read the archives in the DNSO website so
I offered you to review another website with some
extra features (as search tool) that may become for
you easier to read that you won't need such e-mails be
sent by e-mail.

I know what you want is more than possible and very
easy to set up.  

I think then the issue here is not if it can be setted
up or not, because it is very easy to setup. 

The issue here is:  Do the Names Council wish that
outside the Names Council more people is receiving by
e-mail such discussions as members contributes?

I have seen groups where there is no problem about it,
but I have seen groups that such an option is not
desirable and they prefer that other's read it from
the web instead of receiving contributions by e-mail.

What do you think?

Best Regards
Vany
