How to access a cygwin folder mounted with 'managed' option?

How to access a cygwin folder mounted with 'managed' option?

[Jinhyok Heo]

Hi all,

I want to use gnus to access maildir folders, which are cygwin folders mounted
with 'managed' option. With 'managed' option, cygwin filesystem in a window
machine can be case-sensitive and allow some special characters used in maildir
files.

I tried with the latest EmacsW32 but it does not seem to be able to access
managed mounts as they are.

Is there a way that EmacsW32 can access case-sensitive files on managed mounts
as we can in cygwin?

Of course it can't, since EmacsW32 isn't a cygwin app.

Use cygwin's emacs instead.

Since it is known that how managed mounts treat special characters and
uppercases,  EmacsW32 may provide an interface with which users can use
unix-type filenames in certain cygwin folders.

Cygwin emacs needs X, which I do not want to run.

I've written a cygpath wrapper for a slime interface to my w32 xemacs.
But I forgot its name and where it is stored. On the emacs wiki most likely.

xemacs or emacs -nox

I searched 'cygpath' on the emacswiki, but I could not find something relevant.
Your code treats special characters properly?

As I said, both need X, which I do not want.

What do you thing the -nox means?
"no X"

XEmacs also works fine without X, if you don't set the DISPLAY
variable in your env.

I know what you mean. However, running xemacs or emacs in console is often
inconvenient. It is all the more so to me since I want to use several
non-latin languages.

Please try what has been suggested.  On cygwin, xemacs w/o DISPLAY set
is _not_ the same as xemacs -nw:  it uses native Windoz display
functionality and will look just as it would using X.
