   Hi Alan,   
      
   On 2020-04-21 09:47:26, you wrote to me:

   Packet and areafix passwords are case insensitive in FMail. But according to   
   Nick there are tossers that are not...   
      
    AI> It has always been my hope that no one will write a tosser with case

   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.
