mutt and ssmtp on Cygwin on Windows Server 2003 'child exited 127'

[gert_de_boer@ch.schindler.com]

The trick worked for CRON. I let the cron service run under the local
administration account with the additional rights as explained in the
openssh.README.

But mutt still does not work. I do not get any clear message in the event
viewer.

PS How do I get my mails under the tread in the maillist that I am
answering to?

Please read the Windows 2003 Server section of
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README and see if that helps.  I know it
sounds weird, but trust me, it is relevant.
