I always hit "Reply-All", and you didn't have Reply-To: set.

Ah, so I don't. Probably because I am also using gmane to look at KDE lists; setting reply-to <cygwin> would be a little strange in that case. Too bad TB doesn't let you set things per-group :-(.


Anyway, thanks for the clarification; no worries.

Actually, the list of variables automatically translated by Cygwin was
posted here at some point (it may even be in the FAQ).  At the very
least it's PATH, HOME, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but there may be others.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Since when does Windows have any clue what to do with
*that*? (Or it it folded into PATH?)

Hmm... [Digs into the sources]... Yep, here's the full list as of today: PATH, HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH (yes!), TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP. And no, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not folded into PATH. And don't ask me why it gets converted...

Ok, I won't... but at least my confusion is shared. I feel better now. :-)
