Thank you for pointing this out! I was not aware of it, but was able
to reproduce it. It really puzzles me. I'm forced to use here Microsoft
Outlook via Exchange, and I had thought that the standard installation
at our site would automatically the personal name. Obviously it doesn't.
In case you (or anyone else reading this) knows how I can teach Outlook
to handle this properly, please let me know by private message (not on
the
list).

I believe the latter stems from the fact that we have a standard
(company wide)
installation procedure for installing OpenSSH, so it installs its copy
of
cygwin1.dll in its preferred place. Actually, I was surprised to have
"only"
two copies of that DLL, because we are using Ant too, and this, AFIK,
uses
internally also the cygwin mechanism to run on Windoze.

Then I'll have to bite the bullet. Thank you for helping.

Thank you, I'll do so.
