Hi Alan,

Packet and areafix passwords are case insensitive in FMail. But according to
Nick there are tossers that are not...

What's the problem? You can always configure the case sensitive tosser with an
all uppercase (or lowercase) password to communicate with a case insensitive
tosser.

And that's what I'm trying to find out, if there could be a problem if I
change FMails behaviour. I'm not seeing it, but I can't think of everything. ;)


Bye, Wilfred.
