That is available as newsgroups gmane.comp.emulators.wine.user or http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.user (Now my newsreader shows same articlers on two newsgroup comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine and gmane.comp.emulators.wine.user :-) ) Google founds many Web-based archives for wine-users mailing lists.
