Postie will use the "Lfile" or "Fullname" fields if they exist, if not it falls back to "File"

It will only hatch files with 8.3 filenames, mostly because I am lazy to work out a decent Long filename -> 8.3 conversion, and I didn't want any more command switches than it already has.

If some tic file came through with a non 8.3 filename in the "File" field then postie should still accept it - though I'm not sure what would happen if it tried to forward files to downlinks with a long filename in the "File" field.

I'm actually suprised BBBS doesn't have it, I would have thought it was common given long filenames have been around for a very long time.
