I doubt it.  I joined NAFEX because I was looking for a list like this.  
(That was -before- the e-mail archive went on-line.)  

I am embarassed to admit that my membership has just expired, and I haven't 
gotten around to renewing.  I want to second the guy who suggested that 
on-line renewal would be convenient (mailing in a credit card number isn't 
much better than mailing in a check.  I'm pretty sure he was requesting an 
on-line payment system when he talked about 'credit cards'.)  However, I am 
familiar with the technical issues and security problems of doing that.

I like the idea of putting at least some of the archives on-line, but only 
allowing members to post.  That would provide bait for potential new 
members without giving all our content away.  Perhaps the most recent month 
of so of content could be on-line?
