Yes, I do.  At the time I wrote the above, I was under the impression that
Dave also set his Reply-To to the list.  I later discovered that it was
not the case, but forgot to delete the relevant text.

The bottom line is: if you want to receive email on the list, set
Reply-To: (like I do).  Otherwise most mailers will include your address
in the To: field.  If the Reply-To: is set and the mailer *still* sends
email directly to you, the mailer is broken.

Also true -- I was just too lazy to go back and check... :-)

The FAQ entry is titled "How can I copy and paste into Cygwin console
windows?".  Aside from mentioning rxvt in the first paragraph, the rest of
the entry talks about the console window.  Not only that, when the FAQ
talks about the "Properties" dialog, it explicitly says: "open the
properties dialog *of the console window*".  How it could be interpreted
as talking about rxvt is beyond me.

Granted, the entry could be a bit more specific about which properties
dialog it's talking about.
