Jeff,

The easiest way to do this is to use the "Raw text" link at the top of the
archived message, read the first line, which looks something like "From
cygwin-xfree-return-NNNNN..." to get the message number (the "NNNNN"
part), then send e-mail to cygwin-xfree-get.NNNNN<at>cygwin<dot>com.
This will instruct the mailing list manager to send you an exact copy of
the given message (as an attachment).  You can then reply to that message
in a regular way (if your mail client supports it, of course).
