I encountered a clipboard issue common to cygwin.
Affected components:
/dev/clipboard, putclip/getclip, mintty
The issue:
If the clipbard is opened by `OpenClipboard(NULL)`, occasionally
SetClipboardData() and GetClipboardData() fails with
ERROR_CLIPBOARD_NOT_OPEN.
When UltraVNC Viewer (https://uvnc.com/) is opened, this issue
happens with a very high probability (> ~90%).
$ echo AAAA > /dev/clipboard
echo: write error: Permission denied
On mintty, text selection by mouse and clicking center button
fails at the first attempt.
For putlclip/getclip, the following command outputs nothing
in a few attempts. ("ABCD" is lost.)
$ echo ABCD |putclip; for a in `seq 100`; do getclip |putclip; done; getclip
Hi,
Your patch attachment is typed as:
Content-Type: plain/text;
rather than the standard mime type text/plain;
please check your /etc/mime.types, ~/.sylpheed/mime.types, ~/.*/mime.types, or
other alternatives for that incorrect mime type mapping, replace with the
standard, and resend with the attachment, so we can read it inline, without
saving or other operations to decode it.
You may want to consider updating your dated MUA to the more recent development
version, or another more currently supported MUA.
