And there's even more light at the end of the tunnel: GMANE will able to 
import all the old archived mailbox files, so every single and possibly 
important cygwin-talk message will NOT get lost in the gmane universe.

Really, I asked to add cygwin-licensing to gmane.
It's really important to have access to this single message 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-licensing/2004-q3/msg00000.html on 
GMANE. -talk was just a side pet.

And gmane urls are shorter to post as reference, so it will not extend 
72chars par. formatting that easily. Besides the "cool" DHTML frameset 
navigation, if anyone is on that boat.
