Please make sure your mailer respects the Reply-To: header -- I set it
for a reason. Both Dave and I read the list regularly -- it was not
necessary to Cc: us.
Practice what you preach. You are also sending cc (to me at least),
and you do
it all the time.
But when anybody who replies to a message of you automaticly has your
name in the To: Field and has to add cygwin@cygwin.com additionally. So
everybody expects *you* would like to have the answer and as an option
it can be also send to the list. While replying to Igor it goes directly
to the list without causing additional work.
No, if I reply to a message it goes to the list and not to the "To:" field address.
The list is there for a reason, being lazy and just pushing reply is not what I
was complaining, I said Igor has sent me copies many times, not just this one,
and he also likes to tell people not to do that but he's one that does it all
the time.
Ok, never mind.

Thanks for the note on not cc'ing you. I don't know how to reply to a
message if it doesn't come into my inbox. The messages I got from
Dave and
from Rene earlier today only went to the list, and I can only see
them by
looking at the archives.
You can subscribe to the list, and all messages sent to the list will
arrive in your inbox.
Or you can read the messages from a newsgroup reader, no need to
subscribe. I
use my regular email reader Thunderbird for this, connected to
gmane.news; you
can reply directly from that setting.
No wounder everybody is so confused. gmane.news dosn't exist. I guess
you meant news.gmane.org ?
Who is confused? I just pointed out an alternative. So I used the wrong name,
who cares!
I did because I blindly copied it into Thunderbird without thinking much
because it's 7am here. A simple typo can make Newbies think there to
stupid to follow the instructions or like in this case suggestions and
give up. The name correction was the main reason for my reply because
there others out there ...

So perl was not installed on your laptop. When you attached the
output of
"cygcheck -svr", was that from the laptop or from the desktop?\
The output didn't show perl installed (in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/77022).

WinNT means NT-based Windows systems (which includes Win2k and
WinXP). At
the top left of the console window frame there should be an icon.
Clicking that icon brings up a menu (you can also get that menu by
right-clicking on the console title bar). The last item in that menu is
"Properties" -- that's what the FAQ entry refers to.
But it's not there if you are using rxvt, only if you use the regular
cmd window
(a.k.a. Command prompt).
Keep it simple people.

And you thing responding to me is important because...
Never mind, I sure don't.
