Max Bowsher has already answered all of this very well, but I need to
make a few additional points.

It is obviously you who are misunderstanding.  The words at the
indicated web page don't make *any* allowances for sending personal
email and they are pretty clear that the cygcheck output is supposed to
be included "in your report".  You really don't have any basis
for assuming that personal email is the way to go.

Your opinion is wrong for this list and for most of the project mailing
lists on the internet.

No one suggested that every email should have a cygcheck.out attachment.

It's actually a special "bounce this clueless email back to the sender"
account.  You should have received a bounce indicating that it did not
go through, in fact.

Max said it well:
