   Why? I don't know. Maybe because I and the previous author never thought of   
   that, and nobody asked before? ;)

   It's a limit in the configuration file, so it's (very) difficult to change.

   It will be placed in the directory where you have your mailer configured to   
   place it. I don't think it's upto a tosser to handle this directly. I think   
   most sysops handle this manually...

   From origin fmail is a dos program, so it only allowed uppercase filenames and   
   paths. When I come accross this, I change it to allow both upper and lower   
   case. But I probably missed a few. If you point them out, I will change that   
   for the next release.   
      
   Passwords are mixcase where it is allowed by the standards.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
