Hi Keith, Just to confirm, have you uninstalled w3m-img? I'm no expert at Cygwin/X and I don't use it normally, I compiled in X11 support since it was a nice addition and it actually worked for 0.5.3 :) In the past when I had Cygwin/X gvim installed it would take console vim longer to startup, no idea if it's the same issue. Anyway, here are my tests on an average, WinXP box with a fresh Cygwin non-X install (except for w3m-img). I used http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html saved locally, I typed Q as soon as the page loaded, not very scientific...: 1. Uninstalled w3m-img $ time w3m ./bashref.html real0m1.875s user0m0.559s sys 0m0.231s 2. Re-installed w3m-img real0m5.016s user0m0.887s sys 0m0.293s 3. Uninstalled w3m-img (just to make sure) real0m1.812s user0m0.747s sys 0m0.184s If it's still a problem for you and others, I'm not sure how to replicate it.

Version 7.2d-1 of "libgc" has been uploaded. The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without explicitly deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector automatically recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer be otherwise accessed.

Years ago I became maintainer of libgc only in order to get w3m working. And unfortunately I have not kept it current with the upstream libgc. Several newer versions back it was causing w3m to throw errors in my dev environment so I didn't proceed at that time.

Speed of Cygwin's cp vs. Windows Explorer
Why would using Cygwin's cp to copy a large file from one Windows XP box to another take 30 minutes but take only 10 minutes if I use drag 'n' drop (via Explorer)? I saw mention of speed in other posts but couldn't figure out if there was a solution - could it be buffer sizes or something configurable? I'm in a position of defending the use of Cygwin instead of the manual Windows way of doing things by those not familiar with Unix. Any hints would be appreciated.

If I Bcc: someone, the entire Bcc: line appears buried in the headers of the recipient's email (and of course the blind recipients are not hidden, just made harder to find). Is this a problem with the way ssmtp is passing Bcc: addresses to my ISP's (AT&T) SMTP server? Or is it a feature of the 'simple' in ssmtp?
