Request for test my 'Emacs this file' using Cygwin/X GNU Emacs Context menu option.

Request for test my 'Emacs this file' using Cygwin/X GNU Emacs Context menu option.

[Joe Smith]

This is perhaps offtopic, but this is the offtopic list right? ;) 
(Obligatory hippo here.)

I have an email I intend to eventually send to the cygwin mailing list. (I 
started writing it over a year ago).
It describes setting up GNU Emacs under Cygwin/X and then setting up a 
context menu item in Explorer.

I will be posting the message to the list As-Is. That means that I will not 
support it. It works for me, I'm just sharing it.

However I would like to be certain that it works. Therefore I would like to 
have somebody with access to a computer without cygwin, or is willing to 
unintall cygwin to try the procedure beginning with only the base cygwin 
install.

If anybody is willing to help I will send a .eml.bz2 file which can be 
loaded into outlook or outlook express (one un-bziped of course).  The 
procedure should be attempted. If problems are found, send them to me. Also 
I would like suggestions relating to making the email easier to understand.

Please CC me with your reply as I am not subscribed to cygwin-talk. I will 
send the file I listed above via private email.

PS: (Despite using Cygwin/X the procedure is of interest to all cygwin 
users, so that is why I intend to send it to the main cygwin list.)

PPS: What is the attachment policy of on the main cygwin list?

We're all very attached to the cygwin list.  We treat it like family and
try not to stare two long at the disfiguring mole under its left eye.

I'm sure that, in time, you'll come to feel similarly.

Very funny ;), although if you don't mind beinging serious for a moment, I 
would apprieciate it as the post is serious in its nature, but is not really 
appropriate for the main list, yet there is no other good mailing list for 
it.

Why isn't this appropriate for the main list?

Because it doesn't mention h...

No, wait.  That's not right.  I think I got it backwards.

Now I'm all confused.

Is this the list where we are supposed to have serious technical
discussions or is that the cygwin-cvs list?
