I've never done it before, but this from the FAQ:

3.  How do I use the pci-sig archives?

    To access the archive server, send a message to
    pci-sig-request (or pci-com-request or pci-bin-request) with
    the "Subject:" line of the message header containing the
    string "archive" (without the quotes).

    The archive server knows the following commands:

    get filename ...
    ls directory ...
    egrep case_insensitive_regular_expression filename ...
    maxfiles nnn
    version

    Aliases for 'get': send, sendme, getme, gimme, retrieve, mail
    Aliases for 'ls': dir, directory, list, show
    Aliases for 'egrep': search, grep, fgrep, find

    Lines starting with a '#' are ignored (comments).
    Multiple commands per mail are allowed.
    Setting maxfiles to zero (0) will remove the limit (to protect
    you against yourself, no more than maxfiles files will be
    returned per request).
    Egrep supports most common flags.


    Examples:
    ---------
    ls latest
    get latest/12
    egrep some.word latest/*


    suggested first time usage:
    ---------------------------
    to:       pci-sig-request@znyx.com
    subject:  archive ls (or any aliases of "ls")

    This gives you a list of files that you can "get" or a list of
    directories that you can do subsequent
    "archive ls <directory>" commands on.

    subsequent usage for directory information:
    -------------------------------------------
    to:       pci-sig-request@znyx.com
    subject:  archive ls latest ("latest" is a directory)
  or
    to:       pci-sig-request@znyx.com
    subject:  archive
    text:     dir latest

    subsequent usage for searching files:
    -------------------------------------

    to:       pci-sig-request@znyx.com
    subject:  archive search some_string latest/*
  or
    subject:  archive
    text:     find string1 rules
              find string2 latest/*

    subsequent usage for retrieving files:
    --------------------------------------

    to:       pci-sig-request@znyx.com
    subject:  archive get rules ("rules" is a file)
  or
    subject:  archive
    text:     get rules
              get faq           (get the latest "FAQ" file)
              get latest/111
              get latest/222
              get latest/333

    If you are trying to "get" many files, you need to increase
    the "maxfiles" parameter so that <maxfiles> file transfers
    are allowed.  The default value of maxfiles is 16.

    subject:  archive
    text:     maxfiles 99       (or "maxfiles 0" to allow any number)
              get latest/*      (get all files in the "latest"
                                 directory)
