This is very regrettable. 
I miss these mail-archive files pretty much, because 
they were an excelent source of knowledge about cygwin 
and help. With these files and the grep utility I have 
almost always found solutions for my problems or at 
least useful references...
I think many cygwin users would agree with this.

No one to have a heart ;-> to keep on maintaining these 
valuable mail-archive files?
