OK, thanks for clarifying the update process. I thought maybe setup when started will try to update a file anyway (if not in use at that time, even though it was in use before). Note that I did not know there was "a situation" in the first place :) I definitively rebooted multiple times in between and it looks like it did not get replaced - maybe an issue with scheduling a replace? > You must have subscribed to the list and requested a digest.

Makes sense, however it would not go to this thread, probably just create a new thread, correct? > The best way to get individual messages from this list that are easy > to reply to is to subscribe without using the digest option Agree, had I been subscribed, I would have gotten the message to reply to, but I unfortunately was only getting digests. Just to note - I'm not asking for the poster to reply to me, just wondering if it's possible to somehow send a mail and tell the mailing list software to thread beneath a specific node of the thread index. E.g. put In-Repy-To: <msg ID> (which I can get from the raw text of the post) in the body or something like that that I'm not aware of? If not, there's no way to thread properly in various cases such as: - I've posted something a month ago and don't want to be spammed by unrelated posts (which would be hundreds in that time span), then a reply comes - I've accidentally deleted the mail - I want to respond to a post that was posted before I subscribed Any suggestions? Or is this not as common use case as I think it is? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
