Whether you typed it yourself or not, those type of disclaimers are
actually not allowed in mail to mailing lists at this site:

http://sourceware.org/lists.html

The same thing holds true for gcc.gnu.org.

cygwin.com == sourceware.org == gcc.gnu.org

Please find some other way of sending email which does not try to
enforce some kind of faux-legal obligations on the reader.
