For those who don't like receiving a lot of email, just do like I do: don't
subscribe to the list and use Cygwin's excellent mail archive facility. It
is updated very quickly (usualy less than a minute after a message is
sent). You can index messages by date, subject, author and thread. There is
a search engine. Every message posted to list is there, back to January
1997. Do we really need something more sophisticated ?
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/ is the way to go.
