You don't need the raw archives for that. Google "site:cygwin.com inurl:ml inurl:cygwin search-term-here" works wonderfully and doesn't require downloading many megabytes of junk. You can even add "inurl:2007" to limit by year. Also, there's the mhonarc search tool on the site, as well as gmane and nabble. Gmane even has a download function for retrieving archives if you really must have them. You're making this out as a problem that simply does not exist.
