I'm wondering why anyone would think that the script would be adding an
"[ANNOUNCEMENT]" after a "Re:".
Somehow the user magically was able to figure out how to not put the
ANNOUNCEMENT string in their subject so I still suspect user
cluelessness.
(I'm also wondering why this is cc'ed to the cygwin list)
