this is my second attempt at posting to this list.  my prior
attempt was stuffed by qmail-send because of an off-topic
Subject: line.

the original Subject: that i needed to conceal:
 "x windows tips - xfree list has me blocked"

this is one tough mailing list configuration - how is one
supposed to get help when the mailing list system fails?  oh
well, on to my post:

sorry for posting to the wrong list but when i tried to subscribe
to the cygwin-xfree list the ezmlm mailing list software decided
i was a spammer and blocked my email address.  i followed the
instructions to unblock my email address but i'm still blocked.

i've read through the 'Cygwin/X User's Guide' and i'm a bit
stuck.  i couldn't find any concise description or checklist of
what i need to do in order to get cygwin/x to the point of where
i can simply start an x window app and have said app "just work".

any pointers to or a description of the steps i need to take to
get x windows working smoothly would be much appreciated.


thanks,
david

P.S.
if a cygwin-xfree list admin could unblock my email address i'd
be very appreciative
