There should be no space between "--" and "rcfile", but I guess you know
that (it's hard to tell whether that was your mailer's linewrapping).

Now, this is interesting...  Why would you expect bash options to work for
csh?

If this really is a typo and

h:\cygwin\bin\rxvt -e /bin/bash --login --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i

does break for you from a DOS prompt, please run

h:\cygwin\bin\bash --login --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i

from the same DOS prompt and tell us what output it produces.
