Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or expected behaviour, but if I have a sym
link to a file, let's say foo pointing at bar.pdf, and I then use the sym
link name to attach the file in mutt, although the file is successfully
attached, the file type is not correctly used for the encoding. I haven't
yet been able to find if this is a mutt problem generally, something to
do with the cygwin port or the way cygwin handles symbolic links, or if it
is actually expected behaviour. Does anyone have any ideas?
