Wild guess 2 (sorry if I have missed this thought before)
/tmp/something.doc gets sent to cygstart... points to
c:\cygwin\tmp\something.doc, who opens word with "/tmp/something.doc",
who looks for c:\tmp\something.doc?
Saw a suggestion doing
Application/MSWORD; cp %s /tmp/blah.doc && cygstart /tmp/blah.doc; copiousoutput;
if they go this way, it (blah.doc) will probably not be deleted by
Mutt, who only knows of %s?
What happens if you do
Application/MSWORD; cp %s c:/cygwin/tmp/blah.doc && cygstart c:/cygwin/tmp/blah.doc;
(removed the copiousoutput word, what does that mean?)
