While it's true gmane.os.cygwin's nntp shows addresses "in the raw", the 
web interface does not, and apparently we aren't concerned about people 
snarfing from nntp servers (at least, not yet).

However, your newsreader is still dropping the address into the body of 
your replies, at which point it gets propagated to umpteen web archives 
where it *is* "in the raw", which we don't like. So, I'll reiterate: 
PCYNTNQREAIYR (s/mailer/newsreader). Er, and... it's still a "reply" on 
nntp.

(Cygwin folks, OLOCA maintainer a.k.a. Igor especially: maybe we should 
add "-slash-newsreader" to PCYMTNQREAIYR?)
