-FreeLists offers NNTP access
+====== Reading your list via NNTP ======
+FreeLists has support for serving lists over NNTPS to support readers who prefer that format. You can access any lists currently serving via nntps://news.freelists.org
+**Considerations**
+  * NNTP isn't enabled by default and turning it on must be requested by the list owner.
+  * NNTP comes with a risk to privacy: Unlike the web-based list archives, which have email addresses anonymized to slow down SPAM email harvesters, NNTP doesn't support this. Every poster's email address is in NNTP in the clear.
+  * Posts are available for 90 days; the web-based archive is permanent.
+  * You can't post via NNTP, that still happens over email.
