That's a packaging bug in email-3.2.3-1. The patches required for the Cygwin release have not been applied and I failed to notice. I just uploaded email-3.2.3-2 to cygwin.com: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-02/msg00007.html Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
