If there is a particular point in the rules, I usually pick it up in the postings I receive. I have never had any issue with this method, and as you said in another post, viewing the message with a screen reader can be annoying, especially when you have to chew through the parts about not sending commands to the list submission address/being on topic etc to get to the rules, which are usually 2 thirds of the way down the document anyway. If I can explicitly search for the rules (i.e, there are sections at the top of the message, or I am delivered a set of messages either in a digest or as separate mail messages, I will go through them in this instance.
