Another workaround would be from the mintty window to enter some
command that would bring up a Windows Command Prompt window so
that Windows FTP and Telnet would work. I tried the command "cmd",

(Various archive searches were unsuccessful.)

cygstart <path to cmd.exe>


(Sorry about the top-post. Haven't figured out yet how to
coerce Outlook to cooperate and don't want to type all the
">" characters manually. Suggestions welcome.)

Tools->Options->Email Settings. There are options there to enable the ">" character.
