That looks ok. These days, I don't spend a lot of time trying to parse the message for accuracy. I normally just approve the message if it isn't spam and it isn't a message from some hapless user who thinks cygwin-announce is the place to send questions. A couple of hints: If you can, you might want to obfuscate your From address so that people won't contact you personally. We used to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the From address but that's blocked since spammers seem to insist on using it. Please include the unsubscribe information from, e.g., http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2004-10/msg00007.html at the bottom of your message. You could include info from the rest of this message if you were so inclined, too, but that's not a requirement. cgf
