The official archives for R-Help are here:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/

and these are mirrored in various locations, such as:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch/
  http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general

You can also search the archives for all R lists at:

My recommendation would be to set up a mail filter or rule (using 
r-help@r-project.org in the the sender and cc: address fields) so that the list 
e-mails are automatically moved from your main inbox to a folder just for these 
e-mails and you can then browse them as your schedule permits, rather than 
having them interspersed with other e-mails in the same location. I do this 
with a number of the R related lists and have a folder for each one to keep 
them separated. Most e-mail clients and/or online services have some type of 
filtering or rule configuration available to do this.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz
