Can non-cygwin applications "see" the ports ssh in cygwin sets up for
forwarding?  I did some tests on Windows 7 and found that, although the
forwarding was clearly in effect for commands I ran in the cygwin shell,
it did not seem to be accessible to the regular Windows version of
Thunderbird.

The local port I forwarded was not privileged.  I used no Windows admin
privileges.

Thanks for any info.
Ross Boylan
