Quickest way is to use help pages, R intro and other docs presumably installed in your computer and CRAN search facilities together with some contributed documentation. Regards Petr

Perhaps register and then post from an email address that isn't a Gmail one. Gmail email seems to be flagged by the message filters on the university servers where the R lists are hosted. These messages require moderator approval. This is known about and Martin Maechler (the maintainer of the lists) discussed the problem on the list several weeks ago.
thanks! Samit

Also:
1. Have you used "help.start()"? This opens a display in a
browser with links to the available manuals.
2. There are multiple mailing lists and multiple search engines
listed in "www.r-project.org".
3. Have you subscribed? I had the impression that moderator
approval was only required for questions from non-subscribers.
4. The "sos" package available from CRAN searches all the help
pages in contributed packages and returns the results as a data.frame of
class "findFn", with powerful union, intersection, subsetting, and
summary functions. The default "print" method displays the results in a
table in a web browser displaying first all the matches in the package
with the most matches, with hot links to the selected manual pages. I'm
the lead author of the package, and I developed it to help me quickly
find all the help pages and packages with apparent connections to a
particular search strategy. The package also includes a vignette to
make it easier to learn.
5. Have you tried "help.search"? I rarely use it, because it
searches only installed packages and has been quite slow in my
experience. However, it is much faster than posting a question to r-help.
Hope this helps.

I was experiencing the problem of having my gmail emails held up for moderator approval too but I think there may be a filter rule against top posting. Since I made sure not to top post my gmail emails have not been held up so it might be sufficient for the poster to just ensure that he is signed up to the list. Info on that is at the bottom of every r-help post.
