You can read Cohousing-L archives both ways:
1) By sending commands by email to the listserv ( listserv [at] uci.com ) to 
   retrieve archived messages (generally a month at a time.
2) By gopher where they are available individually with one menu per month.

Documentation (taken directly from the welcome message sent to new 
   subscribers or available by sending the command " info cohousing-L " ) :

1) email commands:

INDEX COHOUSING-L       Gets list of archive files available.

GET COHOUSING-L   <filename>  Returns file as one or more long email messages.

SEARCH COHOUSING-L <some_string_or_expression>  Get file references to a string.

HELP      get information about list server commands
 
2) By gopher:

An alternate way to read or browse the COHOUSING-L messages -- current
and archived -- is via Gopher.  All messages are stored chronologically,
one message per menu item by subject. If you have a gopher client try
Gopher gopher.uci.com.  Alternatively from the widely accessible
University of Minnesota "Other Gophers" menu here are 
the links to get to the Cohousing-L Archives Gopher:

Other Gophers and Information Servers (U of Minn)
 International Organizations
  Institute for Global Communications
   Progressive Gophers
    Economic Democracy Information Network
     Housing, Hunger & Welfare
      Cohousing Archives

   If you want to access the Cohousing-L Archives Gopher regularly,
you will want to set a "Gopher Bookmark" in your Gopher client which
greatly facilitates later access.  Check your Gopher client's help
for details.
