[Nfb-krafters-korner] A Whole New Concept!

[slery]

All NFBnet emails are already archived and freely available for anyone (list
member or not) to search to find answers to their questions. As far as I
know, this is how it has always been with all of the lists. Nothing needs to
be done on our part (beside trying to keep the subject lines relevant) to
have this cataloging happen. Please contact David Andrews if you are having
problems accessing these archives.
