If you say so, but I've just double checked my Trash and Spam folders
in Gmail, and I can find no bounces from the list. And I unwittingly
sent two HTML mails to the list before guessing what had gone wrong.

Anyway, however much unproductive fun it may be to get snotty about
HTML bounces, the real reason for my (multiple) messages was git-svn.

What say you to the git-svn issues? (Hint: read the rest of
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-10/msg00602.html, since you chose to
snip that text in your reply.)
