 I would like to get hold on a copy of R mailing lists archives, for
 local, off-line, progressive perusal (I find Web-based browsing of
 email extremely inefficient).  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."
