That looks ok.
These days, I don't spend a lot of time trying to parse the message for
accuracy. I normally just approve the message if it isn't spam and it
isn't a message from some hapless user who thinks cygwin-announce is
the place to send questions.
A couple of hints:
If you can, you might want to obfuscate your From address so that people
won't contact you personally. We used to use cygwin@cygwin.com as the
From address but that's blocked since spammers seem to insist on using
it.
Please include the unsubscribe information from, e.g.,
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2004-10/msg00007.html
at the bottom of your message. You could include info from the rest of
this message if you were so inclined, too, but that's not a requirement.
