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?
