Read the FAQ entry. The old Cygwin versions still containing the pointer to email are actually at least 4 years old, Cygwin 1.7.33 and earlier. > It doesn't help for the old versions of cygwin that are being > reported.

The mail and the automated reply would still hit the mailing list, but nobody would have to bother to reply anymore. This could even be a simple procmail filter.
