Yes, and as you surmised, it is a fairly good intelligence filter.
Btw, why move this topic to the cygwin-talk list? As much as I think it's a stupid discussion, it is on-topic for the cygwin list.
Wouldn't it be nice to have syntax-highlighted code samples?If you plan to highlight your example code (and by what standard?), you have too much time on your hands.
For the record, GRC's newsgroup also rejects HTML messages (as well as anything over 20kb), so Cygwin isn't alone here.
There are a lot of mailing lists at sourceware.org and gcc.gnu.org with the same policy.
But, IMO, the technique of "I would like you to help me but, before I do, let me tell you that the method you've chosen to allow me to do that is really not to my liking" still seems like a pretty bad way of asking for help if you are expecting results.
