We're saying that when you reply, your email client adds unnecessary headers
to your reply that include the email addresses of individuals and the list.
This is not necessary and is considered "bad manners" on the Cygwin lists.

I think you're missing the point.  If you won't abide by the rules and
requests of these lists, what would motivate others to respond to your
inquiries?

I'm not sure what this refers to in Phil's email.

FWIW, you're free to forward anything you want to anybody you wish.  As
far as this list is concerned, we will encourage users to use the resources
available at the Cygwin site since that's what we, as a community, maintain.
If you would like to help out in that regard, that's great!  If not, that's
your choice as well.
