I have been doing some reading today, and have come across RFC3676 (which supersedes RFC2646) which describes format=flowed. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3676.html A bit of a revelation. format=flowed wasn't what I thought it might be, but it turned out to be much better. It doesn't look that

cygwin 5.1 and XP?

I installed CYGWIN_NT-5.1 on Windows XP. It mostly works, but there are a few anomalies that bother me. 1. CYGWIN_NT-5.0, which I have installed on my Win 2000 system, displays the CWD in the title bar. 5.1 does not. I prefer the 5.0 behavior. 2. Problem with cp utility: bgold $ cp foo /tmp cp

I have a good-sized vanilla-C code that was running just fine a month or two ago under XPPro/Cygwin and under SPARC/Solaris9, and STILL runs just fine under SPARC/Solaris9. I've been using the snapshot cygwin1-20041117.dll for my /bin/cygwin1.dll since it was prepared to fix a bug in the now-curre
