I think my mailer might be goofed... I don't see an option
for that. I'll fix it the ole fashioned way though with a
manual CR/LF :) .

Thanks, but I'm looking for something like the "--geometry"
feature of X. I want several bash windows on my desktop in
strategic locations when I double-click a .bat. I'm guessing
that a .bat file can contain several calls to bash with the
geometry pre-defined. Right now my cygwin.bat file contains:
@echo off
cd \
C:\Cygwin\bin\bash --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i
Is there any way to have the call to bash set geometry?
