You might look into DejaNews; http://search.dejanews.com (where
usenet news & mailing list articles Never_Expire). It works with
X based web browsers, & lynx too. 

Create a custom filter; search the "newsGroups" for:

	*freebsd.questions*
or just
	*freebsd*

Then refine with the "subject", and you'll get it all, including
the letters sent to this list. Have fun.
