|=> "--IGNORE-LONG-DISCLAIMER-BELOW--"
One might rather write:
"--Be-Aware-of-Any-Disclaimer-Below--"
to avoid legal problems on the side of the sender....
BTW by the addressee cygwin at cygwin dot com any usr of the list IS addressed.
no need to inform the sender about any failure.
Regards

And the email bulks in response to this disclaimer exceed its size by far now.
