gunzip can uncompress .Z files, so tar z... may work as well. The old 
compress program was withdrawn years ago when assertion of patent rights 
motivated people to develop better alternatives.
I suppose that one of the mail programs in the cygwin installation View could 
act as mail, but you may need to look up information on each.
