Apparently you're not reading the whole cygwin mailing list thread on this subject: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-April/thread.html To reiterate, cygwin.com's hosting site "sourceware.org" went through a hardware and software change in March. If you're attempting to use instructions from before the move to new hardware and different mailing list software then they won't work. >If you think I am mistaken, please find the information on how to do this >and provide a specific link.

Information provided information here: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-April/244545.html https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-April/244546.html To summarize: You can click on the mailto link of any message in the archive and it will invoke your email client with the proper In-Reply-To set. That will allow you to reply to the sender of the message and maintain proper threading. If you want to send to the list, replace the "To" with the email address of the list. I am aware that some people may find this incredibly daunting but that's what's available given the software that we're using. Read the thread for why we're using the mailman2 software. You can download the archive by going to, e.g., https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/ and clicking on the "Downloadable version" for the time period that you need. It will be a gzipped mbox-formatted text archive. If none of this meets your needs then maybe some of the other sites that archive the cygwin list will have something more to your liking. cgf
