I guess my emails were rejected due to HTML, as I'm using Outlook with HTML default.

I'll try to follow the instructions on reporting bugs going forward.

"Another" issue I'm seeing now is that, as I mentioned in a follow-up post to another person's on this problem, Git commands are not showing in Windows Explorer (via right-click). I've installed TortoiseGit and seen the same/similar "issue" with its commands too. Especially, TortoiseGit doesn't show a command to create a repository, which I don't know is with Git or the communication between Git v2.5.2 and TortoiseGit.
