     Since I follow (well, receive and skim) the cygwin mailing list and was 
the one 
casting indirect aspersions at mutt on cygwin and am both a cygwin and a mutt 
user. . .

        the current beta mutt is 1.3.24 (see http://www.mutt.org/ ).
        People report being able to build this on cygwin and it running
        well, but I recall people saying it can't be built OOTB

        the current cygwin distribution (see
        http://www.cygwin.com/packages/ ) has both mutt-1.2.5i-5 and
        mutt-1.2.5i-6 (not sure what the differences are)

        the cygwin mailing list archives (see
        http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acygwin.com+mutt )
        contain numerous comments, many commenting on problems with
        binary attachments and whether they are or aren't solved by
        this or that.

p.s.:  does anybody else remember Emacs' ancestor, ^R mode?
