I would like to read this newsletter too.  Dave has a nice, easy style of
writing, sometimes chatty, that is fun to read.   But clearly, it does not
fit the classification of the existing atari news groups.

The best solution is to make it available on servers such as "panarthea"
and "terminator".  Terminator has the advantage that a relatively small but
growing number of folks may access it via ftp.  Panarthea has the advantage
that folks on every network that carries these articles can reach it by mail,
if they know the gateways and bridges between networks.

Maybe "well" could set up the software to handle a file server by mail?
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that S.Grimm got his software (or
at least the original command set) from Martin Wiedmeyer in "lakesys"
and he may be willing to supply his stuff to others who want to start a
file server by mail.
