  Thanks for your efforts.

  To be Frank :-), I am not aware that I have any special kind of
'mount'. I understand what you mean, but I have just a basic Cygwin
setup on my C: drive. The only related thing I can think of is that I
always specify "Default Text File Type" as "Unix" when I run Cygwin
Setup (I don't know what that does, but that is what I specify).

  In my normal setup, tin is invoked from a DOS Command Prompt window
(i.e. not from bash) and tin invokes ssmtp as indicated in my
'basenote'. However after your posting, I tried in a bash shell and can
also reproduce the problem there:

$ /usr/sbin/ssmtp -t <.letter.save
/usr/sbin/ssmtp: smtp server didn't accept RCPT To: command, replied
"450 <this AT ddress DOT is DOT invalid>: Sender address rejected: Domain not
found".

franks AT ipc1fs02 ~
$

  The this AT ddress DOT is DOT invalid address is only in the body, so ssmtp
clearly gets the address from the body.

  To show that it is really the DOS-format which is the problem:

$ cat .letter.save | /usr/sbin/ssmtp -t
/usr/sbin/ssmtp: smtp server didn't accept RCPT To: command, replied
"450 <this AT ddress DOT is DOT invalid>: Sender address rejected: Domain not
found".

  Using cat(1) and a pipe to show that the problem is not related to "<"
input redirection.

franks AT ipc1fs02 ~
$ cat .letter.save | tr -d '\015' | /usr/sbin/ssmtp -t

franks AT ipc1fs02 ~
$

  I.e. without \r (\015), ssmtp works correctly.

  Anything else you need?

  It would be interesting to hear if other people can reproduce my
problem.
