Nicholas, Chris has a script on his computer that copies messages sent to cygwin-announce, prepends ``[ANNOUNCEMENT]'' onto the subject line, and forwards the message to cygwin-xfree. We do not have such a script. I always post my messages to both cygwin-xfree and cygwin-xfree-announce, and I manually add the [ANNOUNCEMENT] to the subject line of the original messages.
I hope that clears things up, Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Nicholas Wourms > Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 7:41 AM > To: Harold L Hunt; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Pending Review]: XFree86-Xaw3d-1.5 > > > > --- Harold L Hunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Nicholas, > > > > I'll post this later tonight.
