The only further help I got was about a kangahippo (DaveK, no worries - I love reading cygwin-talk btw). Brad, sorry for posting a link to a page which contains your e-mail address. I had seen Igor's was there but as he posts it in his signature I thought it was of no consequence. Christopher, If by your remark you meant that one address was harvested I have to bow to you. If you meant that the skipmung thingie is a secret trick best left in the dark, then I have to disagree.

The web archive is meant for read-only reference, there is no direct way to reply. But this is a mailing list not a web forum, so it's not supposed to work that way. Some alternatives: - Subscribe to the list. - Use gmane. - Use nabble. - When posting, mention that you are not subscribed and ask to be left in CC. - Use the ezmlm email interface to have the message you want to reply to sent to you (e.g. by sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) - Use the web archive's raw text link to get an mbox copy[1] that you can import into your email program and reply to.
