Dear All, I tried to understand how the mailing list work, but I cannot find any thread number or message number from the following.
Moreover we haven't discussed my issue with `cygpath` which is a serious compatibility break in my toolchain. Changing the executable doesn't change anything because I think `cygpath` is somehow linked to a Cygwin dll which have the bug. So two questions in this thread: 1. How can I participate to the thread and use this mailing list properly? 2. What workaround can I use with my Cypath issue?

It mostly refers to the FAQ on cygwin.com. Other lists' help is more informative - single message retrieval based on the ml msg# is implied, but the source of that number is not obvious: "To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail: <cygwin-get.123_...@cygwin.com> To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456 , mail: <cygwin-index.123_...@cygwin.com> They are always returned as sets of 100, max 2000 per request, so you'll actually get 100-499. To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345, send an empty message to: <cygwin-thread.12...@cygwin.com>" should be added to the cygwin ml help, as should the source of the msg# as being the number in the raw message Return-path: header, and -help should be a command, and added to the ml help. -- Take care.
