Dear Tom,
You might be interested to see that I recently merged the archives. (I am the current list operator.) You can find it browsable and a few other formats. This spans September 1992-July 2013 in the cypherpunks-legacy collection.
The current (ongoing) list is in the main cypherpunks collection, from 2013-present. They are both here:

Best,
Greg
