I wish that I knew what I was doing, I would be happy to help. I'll say
this, for me a lot of good has come out of my struggles with pskmail. It
certainly has given me the courage to get away from Windows and learn
something new. (-=
I feel that if I were to continue to use the Cygwin, I would be missing out
on all the great improvements that have been made and will be made.
Programmers are a driven people, there will always be
updates, especially with open source programs.
