Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2003 19:15:00 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 X-SW-Source: 2003-02/txt/msg00503.txt.bz2 I was rather surprised at the cumbersome nature of the Cygwin mailing lists. There are difficult to manage, and the fact that all mails appear in your mailbox, whether related to a post or not is, not what I would have expected. The Cygwin environment is very comprehensive, but something as simple as a poor support system (and compared with all the others I use, this is poor) can restrict interest. Sorry to be critical, but I was taken a-back. Is it going to be improved by using a newsgroup for example?
