Normal network activities (like nslookup) seem to work fine. I have configured my email.conf and set EDITOR=3DVI. However, when I issue the EMAIL command, it just hangs, e.g., [11:24 AM] # email -V -c ~/.email.conf -t -- Opened config /cygdrive/c/users/furashg/.email.conf and then it just hangs there.
