I find Google's site search the most effective way to search mail
archives.
I generally use the incantation (Example for R):
site:r-project.org search terms here
to search the entire site, including email.
To make this easier, and to share this trick with others, I've often
wanted
to have a search box on bioconductor.org and r-project.org.
So, here's a simple form does the trick for r-project.org:
The obvious change makes it work for bioconductor.
