Hi Nick,

That's an obscure list. ;)

Never heard of the first two, are they still used?

Was that a technical necessity? I can hardly imagine that.

Any combination of case (in)sensitive tossers should be able to communicate, I
think. Unless a tosser sends out packet passwords in one case, and expects to
receive it in the other case. But I would call that a bug. ;)

 NA> Just remove whatever uppercase-parse code in Fmail, be done.

I'm leaning in that direction...

Bye, Wilfred.
