Hopefully, the script in question uses something a bit more reliable 
than the To: header.  The Mailing-List: header comes to mind, for 
instance.  And it's entirely possible that Nabble manages to send 
messages with a wacky Mailing-List: header to the Cygwin list, which 
makes the script thinks it's a forwarded announcement.

It's just a theory, I mean, hippothesis, but to me in sounds no more 
unlikely than that Nabble somehow does this when sending out the 
message, but not in its own archive.

(cgf, any comments?)
