David,

Please make sure your mailer respects the Reply-To header -- I set it for

You have apparently missed the part of the Cygwin problem reporting
guidelines (<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>) that asks you to attach (as
an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of "cygcheck -svr" from your
Cygwin installation.

You could send in the exact command that doesn't work, where you're
running it from, and the exact error messages you get.

That's covered in Cygwin by the output of "cygcheck -svr".
