cygwin-apps is a subscriber-only mailing list devoted to a specific purpose. Since the OpenGL message was just a request for help and the OP had already appropriately sent similar messages to the main cygwin list, they were unsubscribed from cygwin-apps. I usually rely on someone telling off-topic posters that they are off-topic but in this case that didn't happen. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
