That's about the only way to do this from a Yahoo Mail interface...
Thanks for the effort.

Well, according to the output of cygcheck, you have two nd.exe's, and
c:\util\nd.exe doesn't seem to be the same as
c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\nd.exe...  The one in c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
seems to have correct DLL dependencies, so that's the one you should use.

Judging from the fact that emacs couldn't find /usr/local/bin/nd.exe, I'd
say you need to have c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin in your PATH within emacs,
too.

Or, as I suggested earlier, you could instruct emacs to start bash with a
--login (-l) flag.  Someone fluent in emacs can probably help you with it
better than I.
