Sorry for the waste of your bandwidth, I was focussed on the primary
problem, not the mailing list problem.  Two attempts at sending mail
with cygcheck output attached (by gnus/xemacs) as a text/plain
multipart attachment simply disappeared, one sent on Friday 21st May
and the next on Saturday 22nd May.

The attachment began as follows:

> Content-Description: cygcheck -s

Is the problem possibly because it wasn't encoded?
