Indeed!  There is also no reason to spam the list with this kind of
"test".  The mailing lists have many portals that can be used to see
messages coming to them.  The Cygwin site itself has access at
<http://cygwin.com/lists.html>.  If you need to see if email is
going to the list and not to you, just check the list in question
before and after subscribing.  This is a better way to double-check
your efforts than spamming the list.
