So, I recursively got archives from `ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Mail-archives/'. The format used in these files is quite usable locally. However, the problem is that these archives do not go beyond 2002. (Maybe the `http://www.r-project.org' Web page should mention this.)
If you look at my page (which is also listed under "search" in the main R page), http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ , you will find a tool to search the mail archives, and links to the archives themselves, which are at https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/ (and probably listed in other places). It isn't clear to me why you want to download the whole thing. I did, but that was to set up a search engine for it. It is HUGE, not exactly for "perusal."
