I repeated the message the first time because the original subject did 
not specifically mention 'cygport'.

If 'cygport' is at fault this is a serious problem that compromises many 
packages.

I repeated the message, again, because I got a message from what I 
thought was the list's server
saying the message had been bounced because it had an attachment with an 
unacceptable name.
And, I got no responses.

Now, I see that the message got through.

Cheers,

Lee
