I was able to sign in anew as instructed and set things for digest. They're
coming in fine and now I don't have to see individual messages.
However, the online archive has ceased.

Hello,
some hours ago I tried to sign up at the new mailmanager under my email
address XXXXXXXXX.de
I got this message in my browser:
> Bestätigungs-E-Mail wurde an XXXXXXXX.de verschickt.
> Bestätige deine E-Mail-Adresse
> Wir haben dir eine E-Mail geschickt, um deine Adresse zu verifizieren.
> Bitte folge dem Link in der E-Mail um den Anmeldeprozess abzuschließen.
> Bitte kontaktiere uns, falls die E-Mail nicht in ein paar Minuten angekommen ist.
Which says I will receive a confirmation mail to
XXXXXXX.de. And I should contact you (who is "you", Amsat ? Kitty ?, to
what address ?) if I don'tn't receive that confirmation email in a few minutes.
Now, after about 1 hour still nothing arrived here! So, what can I do ?
*) XXXXXX.de is just used here for protecting my real e-mail address
from spam.

ORCA is in the second year of a partnership with the James P. Loftus MobileMuseum to provide monthly assemblies on a variety of STEM topics (astronomy, space science and engineeringrelated) via the Remote and Distant InteractiveOnline Sessions (RADIOS) program. These RADIOS are interactive assemblies thathighlight educational programming provided in real time by NASA and live-streamed from Space Center Houston.
