Thanks for the patch, but, here's a question: Since Cygwin.com redirects http requests to https anyway, all links to cygwin.com (or, FWIW, sourceware.org) will end up as https requests anyway. Having said that, wouldn't it make sense then to avoid absolute links to cygwin.com and rather convert them to relative links, i.e.: -<a href="http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-03/msg02182.html";>Inspired</a> by +<a href="/ml/cygwin/2003-03/msg02182.html">Inspired</a> by ?
