Don't expect mailing lists that don't post emails for policy reasons to reply 
because of HTML, size, etc. That mail bombs a third party if the return address 
is spoofed. At one point corporate boilerplate with certain keywords caused drops.

If a post does not appear on the list, you check the list, notice, and mention 
that, with stats, in a post and you will be enlightened. ;^>

It would be nice to document the size limit on the Cygwin ML web page.
I can provide a patch, if someone provides an attachment size limit?
If not, I can provide a patch, and have someone fill in the actual size limit.
