Apparently you're not reading the whole cygwin mailing list thread on this
subject:

https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-April/thread.html

To reiterate, cygwin.com's hosting site "sourceware.org" went through a
hardware and software change in March.  If you're attempting to use
instructions from before the move to new hardware and different mailing
list software then they won't work.

Information provided information here:

https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-April/244545.html
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-April/244546.html

To summarize: You can click on the mailto link of any message in the
archive and it will invoke your email client with the proper In-Reply-To
set.  That will allow you to reply to the sender of the message and
maintain proper threading.  If you want to send to the list, replace the
"To" with the email address of the list.

I am aware that some people may find this incredibly daunting but that's
what's available given the software that we're using.  Read the thread
for why we're using the mailman2 software.

You can download the archive by going to, e.g.,

https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/

and clicking on the "Downloadable version" for the time period that
you need.  It will be a gzipped mbox-formatted text archive.

If none of this meets your needs then maybe some of the other sites
that archive the cygwin list will have something more to your liking.
