Jeff, many thanks for your answer.

the body of the email sent by me has had both plain-text and html
representations. I found no clear confrontation with the Posting Guide
for this case.

that's clear. To my understanding primary purpose of a Task View is
giving a (over)view about the R-packages that one could use while
addressing the respective task. The Task View this time was not enough
to locate the needed package, so I had to admit I need a help. If the
r-help mail-list isn't the right place to ask for a help to locate a
relevant R-package then I'm a bit confused, but would kindly ask for
redirecting me to a mail-list that is more relevant for my question.

I do confirm, that my focus was and is to locate an R-package that
provides at least one function in its API to estimate power spectrum
for the irregular time series.

kind regards and thanks in advance for any help,
Valery.
