So that you get his response. People sending email to this list don't
*have* to be subscribed, though it's encouraged. If you prefer to have
replies go to the list and not to you, set the "Reply-To" field to the
cygwin list. That'll handle it.

Chris set the "Reply-To" field. This is appropriate to allow clients to
infer the poster's intent and route any replies appropriately. I don't
know how gmane works in this regard however. You may need to talk with
gmane folks to figure this out.

Sorry, it's not intended to be. However, now that I pointed out the
"Reply-To" field, I expect that helps. No? If not, don't reply to me.
You'll be confused again. ;-)
