Hi Brian.  Here is the original posting that went out on the N.F.B. Research 
and Development mailing list for yours and anyone else's benefit  who may be 
interested.  Hope this helps.

Subj:   BRAILLE MONITOR AVAILABLE VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL
        The National Federation of the Blind and the National
Center for the Blind are proud to announce the availability of the Braille 
Monitor via electronic mail.  Now, you may receive an electronic copy of this
established publication in your e-mail box every month. 
Instructions are below.
        to receive a monthly subscription of the Braille Monitor
via electronic mail follow the following steps:
1.  Send an electronic message containing the line:
subscribe brl-monitor 
to:  listserv@braille.org
Be sure to replace  with your full name.  Also, be sure
to send your subscription request from the e-mail address where you
wish to receive the electronic text.  (The software uses your return e-mail
address as the destination address of the Braille Monitor for you each
month.)
2.  Once you have sent this request and the software has entered
you into the mailing list, you will receive an acknowledgement stating that
you have been added to the list and welcoming you aboard.  
        Once you are subscribed, you will receive an electronic
copy of the Braille Monitor each month.  No other messages will come from 
his
list.  If you  attempt to reply to the messages containing the Braille
Monitor, your replies will be thrown into the bit bucket and ignored.  If
you wish to communicate with the national headquarters, send e-mail to:
nfb@digex.net
or telephone:  (410)659-9314
If you wish to communicate with the administrator of the
electronic distribution software, send e-mail to:
postmaster@braille.org
        To remove yourself from the electronic distribution list of
the Braille Monitor, or to change the location where you are receiving the
publication, follow the steps below:
1.  Send a message containing the line:
signoff brl-monitor 
to:  listserv@braille.org
Be sure to send it from the location where you are currently
receiving the Braille Monitor.
        When the electronic distribution software has removed you
from the list, it will send you an acknowledgement, confirming that you have 
indeed
signed off the list.
2.  If you want to change the location where you are receiving the
Braille Monitor, follow step one above for removing yourself from the list,
then follow the steps on adding yourself to the list again, making sure
you send the subscription request from your new e-mail stop.
BOUNCED E-MAIL
        Because I, the software administrator, don't have a lot of
time to chase down non-working e-mail addresses, I will boot any e-mail 
address
off the list permanently which bounces more than once in a three month
period.  This should help prevent transient failures which might cause your
e-mail to bounce once every few months from causing you to be dropped from
the list.  If you find that you have been dropped from the list, 
feel free to re-subscribe, using the instructions provided above.
NOTES
        If you have any questions about the list, how to subscribe,
unsubscribe, or want to say something about the distribution mechanism, 
feel free to send mail to: 
        We hope you enjoy this latest method of access to the
periodical of the organization that's changing what it means to be blind, the
National Federation of the Blind.
Sincerely,
Brian Buhrow
