Just one last spasmodic kick: You should see a "Mail-Followup-To" header
in email to cygwin-xfree.  It should be set to cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com.
Apparently some mailers honor this setting.

I also have my mailer set up to always set the Reply-To in messages to
the list since that is my personal preference.  People *still* go out of
their way to add me to CC lines but at least I only get the purposely
clueless sending me email now, rather than the people who just hit 'r'.
