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?)
