I actually read this mailing list so there is no reason to Cc me.
That's why I reset the Reply-To.

For the record, I'm Cc'ing *you* because you are not, apparently,
subscribed to the cygwin mailing list.

Again, if you have received an application which uses cygwin from
someone, you should check with the someone for your support.  We have no
way of knowing how your system is set up, what version of cygwin you're
using, if the application you're using understands cygwin paths, etc.

Even if we did know all that, expecting support for a commercial
application in a public mailing list is just, IMO, wrong.  I don't want
to act as a support arm of Wind River.
