This is just a follow up to close this issue. It looks like:

amoung others probably, confirms the fix described above worked. It does
appear to add an extra space in the subject where the newline was, though
(Library for generating...). If anyone knows how to fix that, please let
me know. Thanks.

I looks like something in your message confused the procmail recipe and
it sent it back to cygwin-announce again. I'll look into it as soon as I
have time, but I'm swamped right now.
This is working for the majority of announce messages, and the recipe is
exactly CGF's old one.
CGF notified me that fowarding another of your announcements failed in
the same manner. I took a closer look and found his procmail recipe is
failing for subjects that contain embedded newlines. This has happened
four times since I took over the forwarding; three of which were yours
:-(.

I'm afraid I need some help because I can't see how to fix this. I'm far
from a procmail guru.
Here is the recipe snippet:

SUBJECT=`formail -xSubject:`
FROM0=`formail -X'From '`
FROM1=`formail -X'From:'`
:0fW

:0

and the applicable verbose procmail log snippet:

Re: forwarding of announcements disabled?
CGF notified me that fowarding another of your announcements failed in the same manner. I took a closer look and found his procmail recipe is failing for subjects that contain embedded newlines. This has happened four times since I took over the forwarding; three of which were yours :-(. I wonder how this newline comes in. I use Mozilla Mail, and usually before sending, I do a Edit - Rewrap. Maybe this is applied to the Subject line as well? As a workaround I can write shorter subject lines, by putting the short description into the message body.

Should I simply add a -c to the formail subject extraction? Other ideas?
