Glad to help.
I'm thinking it should be dirt simple for the web site maintainer
to add a hyperlink right on the message web page, perhaps under the
"Raw text" link, which would say something like "Request this message".
It would simply be a mailto: link with the correct message number added.
I'm thinking this could make life much easier for digest readers,
like myself. In the example above, the link would be:
<a href="mailto:cygwin-get DOT 191383 AT cygwin DOT com">Request this message</a>
The only trick would be inserting the proper message number.
