On daily basis? Why not mintty and emacs-w32?

Originally (2006-2012) I used native Windows Emacs + cygwin-mount.el. There
were compatibility issues, most struggles came from Emacs dependency on
external utilities to be fully functional (like search across files). Cygwin
environment gave those utilities.

Later in 2016 I had to work with Windows again and I discovered:

https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/emacs-w32.html
  This package provides emacs binaries that use the native Windows GUI for display.

Hooray! Good bye "cygwin-mount.el"!

I maintain "e" command to open everything in Emacs:
http://hg.defun.work/utils/file/tip/emacs

It simplifies jump from Windows CLI to Cygwin Emacs.

And recently Gradle 5.2 fixed escape sequence handling in Mintty, making it
great again:

https://docs.gradle.org/5.2/release-notes.html
  Gradle now detects when it is running from Mintty on Windows and enables the
  rich console. Mintty is a popular terminal emulator used by projects such as
  Cygwin and Git for Windows.

OK. No problem. I was surprised that you are using X Window from Cygwin for
xterm + Emacs when there are stronger alternatives. At least you don't need to
deal with env var DISPLAY.

For "mintty" there is an issue with TERM=mintty which is not supported on most
remote hosts. I fixed it in ~/.bashrc recently by:

case $TERM in
  mintty*) alias ssh='TERM=xterm ssh' ;;
esac

Note that I need TERM=mintty for Gradle to work properly. With TERM=xterm
Gradle sends unprocessible garbage to terminal...

I planned to read email archive week later to see responses as I didn't want to
subscribe to any mail list.

So:

* I will know about responses a week later.

* I wouldn't reply to any respond as I have to retrieve/inject Message-Id to
  maintain message chain. For this I used MarkMail WEB form or some other
  offer in the past but experience was confusing.

As I understand it is not possible to specify me as additional recipient via
headers To/Cc/Bcc/Replay-To if you are in a land of email lists.

I remember some articles recommended to ask about inclusion of my email in
addition to list address - the only solution we have ((

Now that I found Gmane bridge working again (I had to alter Gmane connection
endpoint to "news.gmane.io") at least I can reply without issues when not
subscribed to the list!
