Ed,
Please configure your mailer to not quote raw e-mail addresses in replies
-- the spam harvesters have it too easy as it is.
Also, if you had a copy of XWin.exe running at the time you did the
install, setup was not able to replace it, but instead scheduled a
replace-on-reboot for it. Search /var/log/setup.log for "Scheduled reboot
replacement". There are two ways of fixing this: one is, of course, to
reboot :-), and there was a recipe posted to the main cygwin list for
doing the replacements without rebooting.
