If you recall, we used to have "cygcheck.txt" in the instructions at some point, and some brainless mailers (which I won't name) included those inline, rather than as attachments. However, considering that the list archive software sometimes displays real text attachments inline anyway, maybe it is worth changing the name back to "cygcheck.txt"... FWIW, the archives do display "cygcheck.out" as text (<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg00798/cygcheck.out>).
