Hmm. I use gmail which doesn't seem to have that as an option - but
I'll look. In the meantime, I'll try to remember to edit this

I'd love to hear about it.

I forgot to mention in my original post, that in this case, cygwin is
running under Windows XP (not sure if that makes a difference or not).
