This is a problem with your mail reader program, not the mailing list
software. You get the same problem if the subject line was 8 characters
longer. Also, the mailing list software prepends the [cygwin]. Thus,
it should always be the same. I don't see how one message could use
CAPS and another doesn't.

Then why are you doing it? All of the above subject lines seem to be
complete sentences. This is the problem you are experiencing, not the
'bunging'.

P.S. Why do people keep insisting on CC'ing me? I am on the list.
Anything sent to the list will reach me eventually. Is there a point
in CC'ing me?
