It's already available via Majordomo. Just sent "index <list>" to
majordomo(at)NetBSD(dot)org in the body. It will return a list of
available files related to the list (archives, help files, and so on).

After that, use "get <list> <file>" to download the file. For example,
to get the latest archive for netbsd-advicacy@:

1) index netbsd-advocacy
2) index netbsd-advocacy .current
