Re: WindowsXP - bash BUG


Lets not get into this discussion. It can get religious. There are
several touted benefits and problems on both sides. To date, all the
cygwin lists are run with the standards side of the argument. (Don't
alter mail message, only the envelope (and adding a header that is not
present is altering the message )). That was all I wanted to convey.

If you wish to discuss it please take it off-list. I recommend you do a
google search about this, as there are a couple of white papers
summarising all the issues.
