This is perhaps offtopic, but this is the offtopic list right? ;) 
(Obligatory hippo here.)

I have an email I intend to eventually send to the cygwin mailing list. (I 
started writing it over a year ago).
It describes setting up GNU Emacs under Cygwin/X and then setting up a 
context menu item in Explorer.

I will be posting the message to the list As-Is. That means that I will not 
support it. It works for me, I'm just sharing it.

However I would like to be certain that it works. Therefore I would like to 
have somebody with access to a computer without cygwin, or is willing to 
unintall cygwin to try the procedure beginning with only the base cygwin 
install.

If anybody is willing to help I will send a .eml.bz2 file which can be 
loaded into outlook or outlook express (one un-bziped of course).  The 
procedure should be attempted. If problems are found, send them to me. Also 
I would like suggestions relating to making the email easier to understand.

Please CC me with your reply as I am not subscribed to cygwin-talk. I will 
send the file I listed above via private email.

PS: (Despite using Cygwin/X the procedure is of interest to all cygwin 
users, so that is why I intend to send it to the main cygwin list.)

PPS: What is the attachment policy of on the main cygwin list?
