The archives are accessible 
1) in one month chunks via email command to the listserv 
2) via gopher 
3) via the WWW.  

Details:

1)
Quoting from the welcome message that new subscribers receive 

DON'T SEND COMMANDS TO THE ENTIRE LIST !!!
Please try to avoid sending commands to the wrong address.
Successful commands are acknowledged with a return message.  Lack of an
acknowledgement may mean you sent the command to the wrong address.

Send list commands as first line of body of message to listserv [at] uci.com.
Commonly used commands for Cohousing-L are (some details below):

<snip> 
 
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
 
INFO COHOUSING-L    Gets welcome message

<snip>

2)
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.

3)
The archives are available via WWW thru its link to the gopher.
The WWW is at: http://everest.cs.ucdavis.edu/~stanifor/cohousing.html
