Quoting from the access-by-email FAQ:
This document is now available from several automated mail servers.
To get the latest edition, send E-Mail to one of the addresses below.
To: mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu (for US, Canada & South America)
Enter only this line in the BODY of the note:
send usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email
Make the body HELP or empty and you get instructions.
I got that by ftp from RTFM.
You could get it by HTTP from faqs.org.
But you shouldn't have to look in a FAQ for that one. The archive should
tell you every time you touch it, or at least when you enter it at the top.
This points out a gap in the self-documentation of the archives. The file
which generates the text that follows at the head of the ftp directory for
<ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/faqs/> should give a little more overview of the
archive and mention the mail-server service.
