I was referring to the "Subscribed" ("Note that...") part.  You may want
to try to re-subscribe (to either <cygwin@> or <cygwin-allow@>).  The
reply you'll receive from the list manager will indicate if that address
was already subscribed.  If it was, this would be something to take up
with <cygwin-owner@>...  It's likely, however, that it wasn't.

Quite possible.  I don't use PGP, so this'll have to be confirmed by
someone who does.
