(This is what happens if I type the same URL into a `Start Menu -> Run' box.) What happens instead is that `recipient?subject=subject' shows up as the recipient, with the question mark replaced by something unprintable, and the subject is blank.
Is this a bug in cygstart, or am I misunderstanding something?I suspect a bug in the way cygwin1.dll handles conversion from unix- to windows-style paths.
