Hi-
I am just noticing that this is the situation that is resulting by
uninstalling emacs-w32 to find the problem.
Here is the path that makes sense to cygwin but not windows:
I doctored the path so you could see the problem in the url:
file:///cygdrive/c/cygwin64/tmp/mu4e-4212p70.html
I need cygwin to look there:
The actual path that comes up in the browser is this and windows doesn't
recognize this:
file:///tmp/mu4e-4212p70.html
I don't know anything about mu4e. But the browse-url function in
Cygwin's emacs (whether emacs-w32 or another flavor) handles URLs of the
form file:///path/to/something.html without a problem. It does this by
using Cygwin's cygstart utility. See the definition of
browse-url-default-windows-browser in browse-url.el. Maybe mu4e could
do something similar.
