zip 358KB > 256KB too big I think
OK, the mystery has been resolved. There should be at least an
e-mail
notification to indicate that limitation. It is not polite for the
list to simply ignore the submissions without saying anything :)
There have been 3 responses on the list so what are you complaining
about?
I couldn't send the log file "setup.log.full" as attachment to the list. I tried
both plain and zip version to no avail.

I have manage to sent it only as a private e-mail to Brian. There was no e-
mail returned to indicate any error. It was silently ignored whereas there
should be an error notification, or if there was it never reached my mailbox.
You seem to have a novice understanding of how many open source projects
and mailing lists work.
You cannot *expect* anybody to respond to you within a certain time, or
even less than a day, unless you had a paid service contract. So reduce your
expectations. This is a volunteer project, free for all users after all.

I am sorry Thomas for not being clear. I didn't get any automated error response for my rejected e-mail with the attachment to the list. That was my complain about. In no case, there was no complain about the responses on the issue from the list members. I apologise for the misunderstanding.
Don't expect mailing lists that don't post emails for policy reasons to reply because of HTML, size, etc. That mail bombs a third party if the return address is spoofed. At one point corporate boilerplate with certain keywords caused drops.

If a post does not appear on the list, you check the list, notice, and mention that, with stats, in a post and you will be enlightened. ;^>

It would be nice to document the size limit on the Cygwin ML web page.
I can provide a patch, if someone provides an attachment size limit?
If not, I can provide a patch, and have someone fill in the actual size limit.
