Run Cygwin 32 - there only used to be 32 bit Cygwin and old posts assume that environment. Native 64 bit directories are: C:\Windows\System32 (64 bit)C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (32 bit) under 32 bit redirection these become: C:\Windows\SysNative (64 bit) C:\Windows\System32 (32 bit) to support poorly written programs that don't use the proper API call to get the directory name; see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384187(v=vs.85).aspx for full list of paths redirected from 32 bit code on a 64 bit system. -- Take care.

If you've told mutt that you are subscribed to the cygwin list by putting subscribe cygwin in your muttrc file, then mutt should generate the appropriate headers automatically when you reply to the list with the 'L' command.

Attached is a bash script, renamed as openurl.sh.txt, which will open
a url with either the default browser or Internet Explorer. It takes
care of the case when CYGWIN_NOWINPATH=1, and where COMSPEC does not
exist in the environment or does not point to an executable program or
when /cygdrive/c/ does not point to the C: disk.
Before using, strip CRs (just in case) using d2u (or dos2unix), rename
to openurl or openurl.sh or ..., place in your path, eg. $HOME/bin and
make executable.

Doug
