Dear All, 

I tried to understand how the mailing list work, but I cannot find any thread number or message number from the following. 

Moreover we haven't discussed my issue with `cygpath` which is a serious compatibility break in my toolchain. Changing the executable doesn't change anything because I think `cygpath` is somehow linked to a Cygwin dll which have the bug. 

So two questions in this thread: 

1. How can I participate to the thread and use this mailing list properly? 
2. What workaround can I use with my Cypath issue?

Regards, 
Yves

Other lists' help is more informative - single message retrieval based 
on the ml msg# is implied, but the source of that number is not obvious:

"To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
   <cygwin-get DOT 123_145 AT cygwin DOT com>

To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456 , mail:
   <cygwin-index DOT 123_456 AT cygwin DOT com>

They are always returned as sets of 100, max 2000 per request,
so you'll actually get 100-499.

To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345,
send an empty message to:
   <cygwin-thread DOT 12345 AT cygwin DOT com>"

should be added to the cygwin ml help, as should the source of the msg# 
as being the number in the raw message Return-path: header, and -help 
should be a command, and added to the ml help.
