Sourceware blocks all non-text emails - see below.

Run "rebase-trigger fullrebase", shut down *ALL* Cygwin processes, 
download and run Setup.

If a full rebase does not fix it, you may have to uninstall some 
packages using Setup, and rerun the above process. You have limited 
address space under Cygwin 32 and may have to move to Cygwin 64.

Ensure that your email is sent as text only and the attachment is sent 
as text - you may have to add .txt to cygcheck output file name to 
have it handled properly by your mail client.
