Shrisha,
The Cygwin list does allow posts from non-subscribers, but puts them
through spam filter checks, and sometimes does not let messages through.
To find out how to be able to post without being flooded by e-mail, see
<http://cygwin.com/ml/lists.html#rbl-sucks>. I'm directing the reply to
the list, though.
Reply below.

You can always do a "cd c:\cygwin\bin" and ".\bash.exe --login -i" from a
cmd.exe shell, which would be equivalent to the standard cygwin.bat. The
above suggested commands can then be run from that shell.
