Just in case this thread is causing someone out there some confusion,
you don't need to subscribe to this list to read it or send email to it.

OK, for those that want to reply to a list message without having the
message in your mailbox so that it's properly threaded, you can either
manually include the proper headers referencing the message IDs you're
responding to, search the email archives for Igor Pechtchanski's scripts
that help you do this, or use one of the email-list-to-news-portals to
read and respond to messages.  If you're interested in the latter, you
can use the <http://gmane.org/find.php?list=cygwin> link on the Cygwin
home page to get to GMANE.  Keep in mind that GMANE is not site that
has any connection with Cygwin.  It is simply a site that provides a
news interface to many mailing lists.  So, if you have difficulty with
this interface, you want to contact the GMANE folks, not Cygwin.
