Is it possible for you to turn off the HTML formatting in whatever client you're using? It isn't translating properly on the Google Groups interface. I don't know what it looks like in an email.

My guess: You started a native-windows Vim from a cygwin shell. So Vim thinks the shell is whatever cygwin has it set to. However, once the native Vim is running outside of the cygwin environment, none of the cygwin paths are valid anymore. Vim doesn't know how to interpret /cygpath/c or /bin/bash or any of that. Native Windows Vim speaks native Windows file paths. You MIGHT be able to fix this by setting the 'shell' option, and possibly also 'shellquote', 'shellxquote', and optionally 'noshellslash'. But I'm not sure. Your best bet would be not to call native Windows applications from cygwin. You might also be able to set 'diffexpr' to a function which will select the correct diff, and also translate the paths passed in by cygwin. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
