The R-help (!!) list is available via Gmane.org, a fabulous service that
archives, redirects, displays, ... a gazillion mailing lists. Among them are
are r-help, r-devel, and several r-sig-* lists.  See the top of 

	http://dir.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.comp.lang.r

for the current list. By Gmane's convention, -help or -user lists often end
up as '*.general'. So r-help is at 

	http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general

from where you get the different web interfaces as well as four different rss
feeds.  My favourite web form is 

	http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general

but that one has also been 'frozen' for maybe half a day.

Lastly, the page

	http://www.gmane.org/rss.php

has info on RSS at Gmane.

(CC'ed to Kurt as a suggestion for the FAQ ?)

Hth, Dirk
