For me at least, I have found that the easiest reading method for OBOL and Tweeters (and it works as easily for dial up as for higher speed connections) is:

1) OBOL current reading (no attachments are ever here):
http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/OBOL.html

2) OBOL Archives:
http://oregonbirdwatch.org/pipermail/obol/

3) Tweeters current reading (no attachments are ever here):
http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/TWET.html

4) Tweeters Archives portal (you will need to be registered once, but sign in each time):
https://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/private/tweeters/

5) This method can be used for other North American States/Provinces and sub-locations also:
