Some sites e.g. cygwin...cygwin.narkive.com (4 years old) failed to update feeds
when the archives changed.

Web interfaces tend to offer better:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/cygwin.../
https://inbox.sourceware.org/cygwin/_/text/help/
https://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin...@cygwin.com/
https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=cygwin%40cygwin.com&a=1
https://marc.info/?l=cygwin...
and others out there. Not all services support all Cygwin or Sourceware lists.
Sourceware Public Inbox and Mail-Archive both offer Atom/RSS feeds, which I view
with Foxish Live RSS feed reader extension live bookmarks under Chromium, and
message Reply links which I use (like here).
