As every mailing list message contains a footer like this,
and if you know about 'site:' in Google or say, https://duckduckgo.com/
you can use search terms such as

     site:stat.ethz.ch '[R-devel]' "Multiple Assignment"
or   site:stat.ethz.ch/pipermail '[R-devel]' "Multiple Assignment"
or   site:stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel  'Multiple Assignment'

giving results (but for me, currently,
much much better ones  on duckduckgo.com than Google.com).
"Search" from the sidebar of www.r-project.org
is https://www.r-project.org/search.html

which mentions 
- https://search.r-project.org/  
- Rseek

where Rseek is very widely searching, and (the R foundation's)
 search.r-project.org  is mainly searching on CRAN

and both give interesting hits on  'multiple assignment'
