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?
Regards,
Yves

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_145@cygwin.com>
To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456 , mail:
<cygwin-index.123_456@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.12345@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.
