The // is the Cygwin shortcut for Windows drive letters in Unix like paths.
My email program keeps inserting the "file:" infront of the // because it
thinks it is a network file name as you mentioned.

However, it may be that Cygwin itself is getting confused about the // at
some level!

I learnt something and your time is much appreciated thanks.
