Worry, but your attachment of the output never came through.  Neither
did mind.

Looks like the mailing list software discards cygcheck.out output now,
which
seems to make the error reporting process a bit broken?

Seems so.

However, I was lucky enough to fix my problem on my own:)

Emails may only have plain text attachments: add cygwin.com/org/net and
sourceware.org to Thunderbird plain text domains max line length 80, 72, 64:

Tools/Options/Composition/General/Send Options/Text Format/[X]Send as plain text
Tools/Options/Composition/General/Send Options/[Convert to plain text]
Tools/Options/Composition/General/Send Options/Plain Text Domains/Add/cygwin.com
Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config Editor/Search/wrap

or the equivalent in other MUAs.
