Two general points:
(1) Don't e-mail cygwin package maintainers directly; use the mailing
list. Some maintainers don't like private e-mail, and it helps to
have things in the archive.
(2) Read the package README files in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/.

ssmtp authentication certainly used to work with MS exchange; an old man

This version works correctly when the input includes DOS line endings.

This is a bug in the fileutils packaging (I think).
Recently I noticed that "install" has special handling for the .exe
extension, and "cp" does not. In the fileutils source tarball
I notice there are three files:
copy.c copy.c.cgf copy.c.orig
If I replace "copy.c" with either of the other

Long form:
1) Apparently, cat sometimes explicitly sets stdout to O_TEXT. This
occurs twice in the source,
