Three of the top four results of a google search for "cypherpunks archive"
seem to be complete copies of 1992-1998. The venona site has two links. The
one that is indexed by date is a bit misleading because some of the emails
have wrong Date headers. The raw archive link contains plain text files, one
for each year, avoiding that problem.
