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.
