(So it's a good thing FMail does a case        WV>> insensitive compare, otherwise it wouldn't match against the        WV>> configured uppercase password)               PQ> This has been unsteady 'ground' for me. What is FMail doing when it's        PQ> coding the forced uppercase, after having potential mixedcase entered in        PQ> the setup?              You can't enter mixed or lowercase into the configuration program, only       uppercase. And when someone updates the packet password through areafix it's       converted to uppercase before storing in the configuration file. So on       outgoing packet files the packet password is always uppercase only.              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 120/340 601 154/10 203/0 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
