You do not have to subscribe to a mailing list to read it.  All of the 
mailing lists are available on the web.  The "current" weeks postings for all 
the lists are at:

	http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/

And if you want to read older postings, just go to the parent directory and 
select the year, then group, then month.

	http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/

There are some news servers that do mirror some of the mailing lists.  This 
depends on your news service.  Do a search of your available groups for 
"freebsd" and see what's available.

Hope this helps a bit,

Randy
