Great idea, but it has to be done right - you can't just forward a raw news
message to the mailing list.  Some news/e-mail clients (Outlook Express, for
example) will try to open it as a news message, which messes things up.

Just a word of caution to anybody considering setting up a news server for
the cygwin mailing list(s).
