Vince,
The cygcheck output *was* an attachment, but it was marked with the
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="cygcheck.out"
header, so the mail archiving software (correctly) included this text into
the visible message. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be
controlled from the Yahoo!Mail end, at least not through the web interface
(which I do use, BTW)...
I wonder if this is something that can be controlled, perhaps by a
parameter or in a config file, in MHonArc? The "forceattach" MIMEARGS
argument to m2h_external::filter looks the most promising (see
<http://www.mhonarc.org/MHonArc/doc/resources/mimefilters.html>).
