2 things, earlier you said someone who can't write a script shouldn;t
administer a mail list,

I beg to differ, 2 different skill sets. My wife couldn't write a script to
save her life but she has run several small mailing lists quite successfully
thank you. And while I can write scripts if interested enough, I didn't in
this case, mail lists can be administered manually quite well.  Until a
couple of years ago the rather large comp.risks-digest was operated manually
very succesfully. I think it is now more or less automated though.

the other, umm, how do the blind read email, or  newsletters?, OK, Text to
speech.

I guess it was one thing only.
