Sorry. Since it's mostly mutt problems, I thought it would fit there. > Can *we* see the output of cygcheck on both machines? And make that > "cygcheck -svr" (note the "-r" flag).

I'll have to send the NT4 (working) one later, since I don't have access to that machine right now. > My guess about the .bashrc problem is that the machine that runs it > doesn't give a "--login" flag to bash in cygwin.bat.

Compare the > .bash_profile's on both machines (and /etc/profile). cygwin.bat does use the --login flag. Copying .bashrc to bash_profile seems to work, so it's running that file. Possibly the NT4 machine is automatically running .bashrc from .bash_profile. I'll check that when I get home. > The WAG for the "^M"s is that you've accidentally changed the mount type > from text to binary on your work machine when you reinstalled.

I would think that's what I want, since I *want* Unix format files with just \n as the separator. The question is: who's putting those \r's in there?
