I stumbled on this 1994 FidoNews, 14 mar 1004, 11/11 it's kinda hilariously amateurish. I really liked Sylvia, she was a great editor but you can imagine the old white guy crowd wasn't induced to write.
FidoNews came out weekly, for over 20 years, had a large readership, in the dialup BBS days. I don't think many not-for-profit newsletters had that duration.
They are not rare; there's archives all over. I think.
It's pure ASCII formatted text file, raw, not html, and firefox renders it great.
