Um, did you try actually reading what the bounce said?
Sorry, your message has been denied due to keywords found in your
subject. This is probably due to an off-topic post.

Subject: xterm and rxvt titles and icon names
There is a mailing list for X11-related topics. It's cygwin-xfree <at>
cygwin.com. It's off-topic for cygwin <at> cygwin.com.
As to the other problems: Attachments are fine. HTML email though is
forbidden. The reason for the rejection will be stated in the bounce.
Um, yes, of course I read what it said.
If you don't want to confuse people, and your mailer rejects messages
about xterm and rxvt because it wants them to to go cygwin-xfree, then why
not tell the sender that their message seems more appropriate for
cygwin-xfree? I think to say that it is "off topic" is not very helpful
-- it certainly looked like a mistake to me because my message was about
cygwin.
In cygwin, rxvt works without X11 and I have the same problem with rxvt
without X11 as I have with X11. I think it is quite a stretch to call a
question about rxvt on cygwin "off topic" on this [EMAIL PROTECTED] list!!
