There is a nearly-empty online archive at 
http://www.maths.ex.ac.uk/~james/csound_list/
James has reported that he's having problems updating it, and I suspect 
he's given up.

You can download the past year-and-a-half in a Unix mailbox format (just 
plain text with a special-character message separator) from:
ftp://ftp.maths.bath.ac.uk/pub/dream/
Only trouble is, they're in about 400 small separate files; you need a 
decent ftp application, since I don't think any web browsers can grab a 
whole directory. Oh yeah, they're in gzip format.

A while ago I made indexed HTML archives from the mailbox archive; John 
Ffitch said I could upload them to the dream site, but then he was 
having technical problems. Since then I haven't seen any interest 
expressed in a downloadable HTML archive so I pretty much gave up on 
that project. I still have 'em if anyone really wants it. About seven 
megs, if I remember right. Anyway, it finally dawned on me that it's 
usually faster to find what you want by just using a text-searching tool 
like grep with the plain text files ...
